“We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we will do our best to restore these services when we can, said Katherine Costanza, assistant director of Jefferson Parish Environmental Affairs. “The curbside recycling program is important to Jefferson Parish and something we will continue once the spread of the virus has been contained.”
