Junk Removal in DeQuincy, LA

An old fridge on the carport, building materials stacked behind the shed, tires leaning on the fence. It is easy to leave it for later.

DeQuincy’s code does not leave it for later. It is unlawful to store junk, trash, debris, discarded or disused appliances, lawn equipment, tires, building materials or machinery on any vacant or occupied lot (Sec. 10-71). After notice, you have 10 days to remove it, and each day after that counts as a separate violation (Secs. 10-72 to 10-75). The city also publishes what it charges to clean up a property itself: a $75 administrative fee plus $125 an hour with a two-hour minimum, set in 2023 and rising 4 percent a year (Sec. 10-62).

Klutter Krewe hauls all of it before a notice ever shows up. Send photos, get a real number, and anything worth keeping stays.
