Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced last week the return of recycling as a city service. Beginning Saturday, August 14th, 2010, Orleans Parish residents and small business owners will be able to bring designated items to the City’s drop-off site, located at 2829 Elysian Fields between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m on Saturdays only. Materials do not need to be sorted prior to drop-off. Materials that will be accepted at the drop-off site include:
- Paper
- Cardboard
- Newspaper and magazines
- Junk mail
- Aluminum cans
- Plastic soda and water bottles
- Liquid detergent and bleach bottles
- Milk, water and juice bottles
- Tin, steel and metal cans
- Tires (four maximum)
Glass recycling is not yet included in the program. Also, residents will not be provided bins for collecting their own materials but can bring their recyclable products to the collection site in their own containers.
For more information, please see the New Orleans Recycling Guide.
