To help speed up the process of debris cleanup that continues in the wake of Hurricane Isaac, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development is asking those in East Baton Rouge Parish to separate debris be separated into two piles; one for vegetative debris and one for demolition debris. Household appliances should be placed separately and to the side, DOTD says. Crews will begin final passes in the parish to collect the last of the debris on Monday, Oct. 8. DOTD is utilizing in-house crews to remove debris in the parish. To date, it says more than 336,000 cubic yards of debris has been removed from affected roadways statewide, or approximately 17,500 cubic yards per day. Of that, roughly 15,500 cubic yards has been removed from East Baton Rouge Parish.
