Replacement garbage cans to cost residents

NEW ROADS, La. (AP) - Pointe Coupee Parish residents are going to have to become more responsible when it comes to keeping track of their parish-issued garbage cans if they want to avoid being charged replacement fees in the near future.

The Advocate reports the Pointe Coupee Parish Police Jury approved a resolution this week stating residents will have to pay $45 to replace any lost or stolen cans starting July 1.
