NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Mayor Latoya Cantrell issued a statement, saying she had submitted a 90-day notice of termination of the emergency sanitation contract between the city and IV Waste made in December of 2024. “We cleaned up after the tragic event on Bourbon Street, Super Bowl, Mardi Gras, national exposure.
