HARAHAN, La. (AP) - Throughout June, Harahan residents can put anything and everything out on the curb to be picked up by the city’s garbage hauling contractor for free.
With the exception of hazardous materials, Progressive Waste Solutions will pick up everything from heavy couches and carpets to piles of shrubbery trimmings as part of a move to help keep Harahan in top form.
Nola.com/The Times-Picayune reports (https://bit.ly/1lYrv4R ) the special pick-ups will occur on the second scheduled pick-up day per week through June.
Mayor Vinny Mosca says it’s the first time the city has provided such a service in hopes of helping it keep its designation as cleanest city in the region.
Mosca says the service could also cut costs to residents, who otherwise might have to pay private companies to cart away junk.
