Will they start with the debris at City Hall?
"Inspectors will come out to assess the trash..."
This just tells me that the debris will sit around for a couple of months before its picked up - just send the damn trucks around and pick up the trash!
I'm concerned about the debris from the water in the creeks.
I'm disgusted that so many people seem to think throwing their garbage into the Reservoir, into the Pearl and into creeks and creek beds.
I doubt we can count on the trashy humans who come in all colors who tossed the trash to organize and pick it up but someone has to do so. And, sadly, homeowners will have to clean up their areas of creeks behind their homes and keep them unobstructed.
Life ain't fair, so accept that and keep your yards and adjacent areas clean!

"Inspectors will come out to assess the trash..."
This just tells me that a bunch of Chok's cronies will be getting hired as "inspectors" and that they will be well paid for riding around in a city vehicle doing nothing. Well, they might do something, such as telling people whose trash does not comply that for a small "fee" (wink, wink) he will make sure the trash is picked up anyway.
We shall see.
How are they going to distinguish flood related debris from the normal debris?
10:58 - The job title (that comes with a truck) is 'project manager'. It's been a reality for twenty five years in Jackson, at least. It comes with the territory and is a consequence of elections.
"Inspectors will come out to assess the trash..."
(assess the trash)
That's possibly the goofiest statement to ever be issued by the Chokwe Antar Lumumba Administration.
Why pick up the debris from the creeks and streams? It will be in the same shape a year from now. It will take a major shift in values and culture before everyone stops throwing their trash in the streets.
