From the parish's landfill and drop-off site pages. Bring a driver's license or water bill. The drop-off sites are self-service (you unload into the roll-off containers) and can't take trailers or dump trailers, which go to the landfill. They take garbage, appliances, bulky waste, scrap metal, yard waste and construction debris, but not old tube TVs and monitors, light bulbs, toner or stereo equipment.
Homes with parish service get weekly bulk pickup: furniture, up to 4 appliances and 4 tires a week, fence boards and yard waste. Bundle branches in 4-foot lengths under 75 pounds, keep piles under 6 cubic yards (about the size of a small car), and empty refrigerators without taping them shut. Contractor debris isn't collected.
Paint, chemicals, pesticides, ammunition and old tube TVs go to the parish's household hazardous materials collection days, held in the spring and fall.
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.
