Louisiana residents recovering from the aftermath of Hurricane Ida are dealing with another problem, and it stinks - New Orleans garbage hasn't been collected for weeks.
Several residents told a City Council committee Friday that they haven't had their garbage collected since days before the storm hit on Aug. 29.
“The smell, you know the maggots, the juices that falls off the bags, it’s a lot of work,” Marlon “Buck” Horton told ABC station WGNO.
The stench – which has drawn countless bugs and rats – got so bad in parts of the city last week that lifelong New Orleans resident, Aaron “Louisiana” Grant, joked on Facebook that he and others should stage a garbage parade and dress in trash-themed costumes while depositing their debris at the doors of City Hall.
