NOTE Confidence: 0.85574096

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.888
When the city finalize the mid year budget,

NOTE Confidence: 0.85574096

00:00:02.890 --> 00:00:04.960
they allocated $1,000,000 to the sanitation

NOTE Confidence: 0.85574096

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:07.215
department to deploy extra crews to clean

NOTE Confidence: 0.85574096

00:00:07.215 --> 00:00:08.859
up illegal dumping across the city.

NOTE Confidence: 0.85574096

00:00:08.860 --> 00:00:11.506
This as the department is now planning for a

NOTE Confidence: 0.85574096

00:00:11.506 --> 00:00:14.198
long term solution to a decades old problem.

NOTE Confidence: 0.6892413

00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:17.288
These cleanup crews

NOTE Confidence: 0.6892413

00:00:17.290 --> 00:00:18.738
construction debris,

NOTE Confidence: 0.6892413

00:00:18.738 --> 00:00:20.910
sofas, mattress house.

NOTE Confidence: 0.6892413

00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:24.900
Items tires. Have seen it all.

NOTE Confidence: 0.6892413

00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:26.760
I mean the list can go

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.400
on and on. MDL Enterprises

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:30.040
are no strangers to cleaning

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:30.107 --> 00:00:31.715
up the city of New Orleans,

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:31.720 --> 00:00:33.270
picking up after Mardi Gras.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:35.130
But now they are working on

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:35.130 --> 00:00:36.948
the daily just being from here

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:36.948 --> 00:00:38.850
and seeing all the debris here

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:40.710
and just seeing it clean up.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:42.796
I mean, I feel good just being

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:42.796 --> 00:00:44.740
part of the team, you know,

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:45.980
because it's it's horrible.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:45.980 --> 00:00:46.910
It's a health

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:46.910 --> 00:00:49.700
hazard. 3 new crews are working 10 hour days,

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:51.569
sometimes six days a week to address

NOTE Confidence: 0.8351285

00:00:51.569 --> 00:00:53.419
the backlog of dumping complaints.

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:00:53.650 --> 00:00:55.888
They shouldn't be allocating this this

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:00:55.888 --> 00:00:58.655
much resources and money to deal with the

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:00:58.655 --> 00:01:00.710
problem that shouldn't be there in the

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:00.710 --> 00:01:02.840
1st place. Sanitation director Matt Tory

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.747
says this bad habit will take years to break

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:05.750 --> 00:01:07.760
and will require long term solutions.

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:09.776
We'll be opening in 2023 two

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:09.776 --> 00:01:11.120
convenience centers which are

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.910
facilities that will allow residents

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:12.910 --> 00:01:15.691
for free to come and drop off trash

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:15.691 --> 00:01:18.235
large items that will that will go to

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:18.235 --> 00:01:20.558
the landfill and we're also, you know,

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:20.558 --> 00:01:22.652
been working steadily to increase our

NOTE Confidence: 0.81490153

00:01:22.652 --> 00:01:23.890
enforcement capabilities till then.

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:27.142
These groups will be working to keep

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:27.142 --> 00:01:28.618
the community clean. They just ask

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:28.618 --> 00:01:30.588
that you do the same. We like for

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:32.270
the residents to do their part in

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:32.270 --> 00:01:33.779
helping to keep the city clean.

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:34.772
They do their part.

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:34.772 --> 00:01:36.490
We're gonna definitely do our part now.

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:36.490 --> 00:01:37.228
Originally there was

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:37.230 --> 00:01:39.435
only one clean up crew cleaning up the city,

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:41.162
but now with three more Tory hopes

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:41.162 --> 00:01:42.912
they can put a dent into that

NOTE Confidence: 0.84483886

00:01:42.912 --> 00:01:44.671
backlog before the end of the year.
