CURBSIDE RECYCLING TO RESUME ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 6

JEFFERSON, LA – After a three-month suspension due to Hurricane Ida recovery efforts, curbside recycling will resume on Monday, December 6, 2021 in unincorporated Jefferson Parish and the Town of Jean Lafitte.

Loads are expected to be heavy and delays are anticipated. During the first week, every effort will be made to collect material on the regularly scheduled pick-up day. As the situation stabilizes, trucks will return to areas to collect any remaining material in neighborhoods that were missed on their designated day.

As curbside recycling collection resumes, residents are encouraged to place only the following items in their green recycling bins: paper, cardboard, plastic containers #1-2, aluminum cans and bimetal cans. CLICK HERE for a detailed list of accepted items.

As a reminder:

• Do not place material in plastic bags. Recycling should be loose and placed in the open top bin.
• Glass is not accepted.
• Containers with food waste or garbage are not accepted and should be disposed of with household garbage.

For additional information, please contact the Department of Environmental Affairs at 504-731-4612.
