Debris pickup in St. Bernards Parish

According to the company doing the pickup (i.e. picking up piles etc), they are ahead of schedule, although the residents disagree:

From Yahoo and WDSU:

"Lawrence Green with the Unified Recovery Group...said the reality is that his company cut through all the red tape and is leading southeast Louisiana in debris removal with 80 percent debris already taken and destroyed. "We are very far ahead so residents can take solace in the fact that everything here is going at a faster pace then their neighbors," said Green"

mmm...80%? Maybe...but it seemed like there was still a long long ways to go. And by his own admission later in the article it will take another year...and that is not the rebuilding.
