Dealing with tons of trash isn’t out of the ordinary for the City of New Orleans.

More than a century of Mardi Gras celebrations have refined the city’s approach to bulk garbage collection down to a science. A “parade” of sanitation workers, tractors, trucks, and street sweepers mobilize to collect the trash and clean the city after Fat Tuesday.
