Avoyelles Parish Solid Waste Information
Click below to see the numbers for yourself.
LET ME HELP OUR COMMUNITIES.Ā LET’S GROW AVOYELLES PARISH.
As a life-long resident of Avoyelles Parish, I amĀ committed to making the parish a place where families can flourish and kids wonāt have to move away to find a job. With my experience as an entrepreneur, I knowĀ how to create jobs and opportunities. Iāll work hard in Baton Rouge to grow our job base and give every one of us a chance to succeed.
Ā
LET’S STOP WASTEFUL SPENDING
Politicians in Baton Rouge are risking our future to fund their wasteful ways.Ā I will use my knowledge as a successful job creator to force government to live within its means, cut our taxes and give the citizens something back for their tax dollars.
Ā
I SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS
I know firsthand the schools in Avoyelles Parish and across the state. I understand the importance of giving parents and students the chance to achieve their dreams. I support giving every student a strong start, high expectations, effective teachers and quality schools.
Ā
I WANT TO PRESERVE OUR WAY OF LIFE
My Christian values guide me every day. I amĀ pro-life and committed to protecting the rightsĀ of the unborn. As a sportsman, I will defend the Second Amendment and will fight to protect the rights and culture of our community.
While our community is focused on recovering from this historic flood, a lawsuit has been filed challenging the court reform legislation.
I have been advised that if the lawsuit is successful, the result could be the elimination of the Bunkie City Court. That outcome would be unfortunate for the citizens of Bunkie.
At a time when so many families are rebuilding after what has been described as a 1,000-year flood, I believe our time and energy should be focused on helping our communities recoverānot on litigation.
I respectfully disagree with the decision by Bruce Coulon and Charlie Riddle to pursue this lawsuit, and I remain committed to doing everything I can to protect our courts while continuing to help the people of Avoyelles recover.

Samaritan’s Purse is in the parish since yesterday and are ready to help with cleanup. They are set up in the parking lot at the Baptist Church in Hessmer across from Shawn’s. Really nice people.
Y’all I’m NOLA born, so no stranger to disasters. I’m also a cat five hurricane head on survivor. Total devastation. But we rebuilt our lives, our homes and our communities. In the process, we became stronger. Strangers became friends and friends became family. It’s a long haul, but you’ll get there. Never doubt that, nor yourselves. Enjoying life along the way makes it easier, and yes you can. You must. Look at nature, she’ll give you hope. Focus on small things that make you smile. Take time to rest, you just can’t rebuild in a day. I look back now amazed at what I did, what we did. Rebuilt it from the ground up. You WILL as well and you’ll be stronger for the experience, I promise. I’m living proof. You’ll remain in my prayers. You’re in everyone’s prayers. God’s got this. And He’s got you. šš¼
Take the time to listen. Some help, if available, is better than nothing.

Is there a place to send information about losses other than homes?
Daryl Deshotel State Representative I text you earlier, I know you are crazy busy, I need recommendations on what supplies will be most beneficial for everyone in the area, if anyone on here has any input please let me know, I am trying to set up a couple donation centers in Houma/ Raceland/ thibodaux with Chad Ducote and a couple other businesses and churches and send a truck that way ASAP. Bryan Fontenot I will call you this afternoon
Is there a certain date that reports should be submitted by? Wondering what the timeline is for people who are still busy dealing with damage. Thank you!
