The City of Jackson announced garbage collection will be indefinitely halted city-wide because of a long-running dispute between the mayor and city council.
The feud between Jackson City Council members and Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba centers around the validity of the Mayor warding Richard's Disposal, Inc., a trash pick-up contract for Jackson after the Council voted against Richard's Disposal. Garbage pick-up by Richard's was underway in the Bel-Air neighborhood, Monday, Apr. 11, 2022.
New Orleans-based Richard’s Disposal has been collecting garbage in Jackson since April, after Waste Management’s contract with the city expired. Lumumba and the council deadlocked over who had the lowest and best bid for collection. Lumumba issued an emergency contract for Richard’s to collect, but the City Council rejected the contract and has refused to pay the company.
