Solid waste planning

Woody and yard wastes are a significant and growing portion of the residential solid waste stream in East Baton Rouge Parish.  Further, occasional storm events generate
large volumes of fallen trees and limbs, as debris from a single storm event often greatly exceeds the typical annual volume of residential woody and yard waste. To address this concern,  the City-Parish appointed GreenPoint to evaluate the feasibility

of establishing a City-Parish woody and yard waste composting facility in lieu
of contracting these services. The study found that a mechanized composting facility 

can accommodate over 50% growth in the 2011 woody and yard waste stream over a
projected 20-year useful life, and can accommodate occasional use following a
tropical storm that generates one-million cubic yards of woody debris.
