Enormous city trashcans
Jen L.

One of two subcontracts for city trash removal. If their number is on your city issued trashcan then they're your contract. The garbageman takes all of our cans (and sometimes we have a lot) and don't leave trash in the street...such an improvement post-K. And the one time they missed our entire block, I called and trash was picked up the next morning.

Do you have a nice car parked on the street? You won't after Richard's Disposal is done with it. They have an exclusive contract with the city and it shows because the employees truly don't care. I moved from Portland a year ago with no scuffs on my front bumper. After a year with this company, my whole front bumper is scuffed because they drag the trash cans across my it. Every morning after trash pickup I'd come out to find more scuffs. Then one day I came out to find a trash can literally wedged between my front bumper and the car in front of me. There was a large gap 3 feet further down, but that would've been too much work apparently. This is perfectly acceptable for Richard's Disposal. Why would they do this? I'll tell you one reason. One day they were picking up trash while I was outside. The employee was talking on his cellphone the whole time while tossing cans recklessly without a care in the world. I called Richard's Disposal to voice the complaints mentioned above and they said they'd have a manager for my route call me within the hour. No call all day, but I did receive a new trash can (probably someone else's that never arrived for them) that I never asked for. I'd say stay far away, but they're the only game in town when it comes to trash service and it definitely shows. If you're having problems with them as well, I'd suggest reporting them to the Better Business Bureau in the hopes that they lose their contract in the future. I've linked it below: https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/find-business/name/Richard's%20disposal/NEW%20ORLEANS-LA/

This company is an UTTER DISASTER. Unprofessional, inept and outright LAZY. After DOUBLING the cost of trash pick-up, Orleans parish has been reduced to one trash pick-up per week. The drivers and garbage men have no oomph, drive or desire whatsoever to do their jobs. They pick up what they want, and in most cases, if it's in a green garbage, they simply WILL NOT pick up the trash. I am constantly calling the supervisor Clayton to make him aware of the situation. This morning I took the liberty of video taping the negligence on my street. When I asked the garbage men why they didn't pick up my neighbors trash, I was told "BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE NOT TIPPING US". These lazy individuals are going to be the reason that Richard's Disposal looses its contract, and I can't wait for that day to come. I say to the so called city leaders. Pay Sydney Torres. He was most definitely getting the job done. This city is embarrassing and has an excuse for just about EVERYTHING.

INACCESSIBLE CAN MY ASS. DO YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!

This place is terrible. Avoid at all costs. Got the city contract so they don't need to worry about actually "doing" anything.

Mr Clayton, Ms Troy, Ms Linda (I think that's the other dispatcher's name) do a wonderful job picking up our trash & recyclables.

Viavant / Venetian Isles

So a couple of friends and I had to dispose of two 26' truckloads of damaged furniture last week…read more We rented a box truck, loaded it up, and headed out on a voyage to this great unknown literal wasteland. The entry signage could be a little larger and more conspicuous, but perhaps a bright, flashing neon monolith broadcasting "DUMP HERE" migh be misconstued in all kinds of ways in the Big Easy. After passing up the more reserved and understated entrance, and making the requisite u-turns to make our way back, we found ourselves in a short queue of trucks looking to likewise loosen their loads. The line was short and moved efficiently for something run by the city. We did note that it was "cash only" and that there was prevalent "no smoking" signage, which we found odd due to the fact that a huge nasty landfill seemed like the perfect venue for smokers to puff away without bothering anyone else. The people staffing the truck queue were quite friendly. We only found out that they don't take televisions or mattresses upon inspection of our load, but such impermissible contraband only constituted a small percentage of what we were disposing and we were simply asked not to deposit those items at the site. So it turned out that for a mere $20 per truckload, we were treated to some exemplary seagull and crane watching, a really cool monster equipment show consisting of heavy duty construction vehicles crushing unfathomable quantities of oversized garbage, some spectacular elevated views of the New Orleans Central Business District from a hilltop created from vast quantitites of other people's waste, and a free workout hurling all of the items packed into our truck into a giant pile over the edge of a small hill on a steamy July day in New Orleans. All in all, it was an immensely pleasurable experience and the place didn't smell anywhere near as bad as some of the moldy furniture of which we were disposing. Between us, I'm sure me and my friends burned more than 1,000 calories! If you ever have the opportunity to venture here, I highly recommend it. You just might want to squeeze your trip here in prior to consuming any huge meals.
