Besides household trash, the North Landfill takes appliances (refrigerators and freezers emptied, doors removed), lawnmowers, artificial Christmas trees, small appliances, grass and small limbs, and up to 4 tires a year per resident. It doesn't take batteries, hazardous waste, asbestos, liquids or commercial and industrial tires. Wear closed-toe shoes and a high-visibility vest if you unload at the working face; the full rules call for gloves, goggles and a hard hat too.
The landfill is closed New Year's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Louisiana law keeps car batteries out of household trash (stores that sell them must take old ones back), bars whole, unprocessed tires from landfills, and requires appliances (white goods) to go to a collection or recycling site rather than a landfill.
