On Sept. 9, 2025, the City of Broussard Council adopted Ordinance 25‑834, which sets policy for the collection of vegetative debris, including branches. The ordinance appeared before the council for the second time and was adopted by roll call; council members said the policy is intended to make branch pickup run more smoothly and efficiently.

Why it matters: the ordinance standardizes how the city handles vegetative debris collection, providing clearer expectations for residents and city crews. Council members framed the ordinance as an operational improvement for public works; no public comment was recorded on the item.

Action and next steps: the council adopted the ordinance by roll call with all recorded votes in the affirmative. Staff will implement the collection policy under the city’s Public Works procedures and publish guidance for residents, as appropriate.
