It's a month after Hurricane Ida and there are still a lot of debris piles in our neighborhoods.

And there is a right way and a wrong way to put out those debris piles to make sure they get picked up quickly.

We are all finally seeing the debris trucks come pick up the piles stacked up around our homes from the storm. More than 550,000 cubic yards have been removed in Jefferson Parish alone, but why do they get some piles and leave others?

Right now in Jefferson Parish, DRC Emergency Services has around 100 trucks out picking up. Many of the workers are loggers, who have come down to Southeast Louisiana from places like Wisconsin. And their trucks, claws and grapple arms are big and powerful.
