The Heap

Big but Not-So-Easy Cleanup

beads.jpgNPR's All Things Considered had a great interview today with Calvin Jones, French Quarter Supervisor for SDT Waste and Debris, on cleaning up the leavings from last night's (this morning's?) raucous Super Bowl victory celebrations in the heart of New Orleans.

In Mr. Jones' estimation, the mess approximated a "mini-Mardi Gras" (he'll be able to make a proper comparison in exactly one week). But he was rooting for the Saints all the way: "You had to hope for them to win. But I said, 'If they win, we're gonna have record trash.'"

You can listen to the whole interview below.
