Recycling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish run garbage, recycling, and out-of-cart collection directly through City-Parish crews rather than a single contracted national hauler. Every household gets a City-Parish issued recycling cart, and unlike a lot of Gulf Coast cities, Baton Rouge actually accepts glass in that same curbside cart. Bulky items, yard waste, and hazardous materials each follow their own separate pickup or drop-off rules, and the parish runs its own landfill north of the city rather than relying on a private facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can go in the Baton Rouge recycling cart?

The City-Parish recycling cart takes aluminum cans, bi-metal and steel cans, cardboard, glass bottles and jars (clear, brown, and green), plastics numbered 1 through 7, newspaper, magazines, junk mail, paperback books, milk and juice cartons, and detergent refill containers. Everything goes in loose, no bagging or sorting required, and large cardboard boxes can be flattened and set beside the cart instead of stuffed inside it. Recycling is collected once a week on one of your scheduled garbage days.

Does Baton Rouge recycle glass curbside?

Yes. That puts Baton Rouge ahead of many nearby cities that dropped glass from curbside programs. Clear, brown, and green food and drink bottles and jars are listed as accepted items in the city's official curbside guidelines, so residents don't need a separate glass drop-off for typical bottles and jars.

Where does Baton Rouge trash and recycling go, and is there a parish landfill?

Curbside recyclables go to the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) at 7923 Tom Drive, run by Waste Connections, where they're sorted and baled. Regular garbage and trash can also be self-hauled to the City-Parish's own North Landfill at 16001 Samuels Road in Zachary, which is free for East Baton Rouge Parish residents who show proof of residence like a driver's license or water bill. The landfill also takes bulky items such as tires, appliances, water heaters, and lawnmowers, but not hazardous, asbestos, or liquid waste.

How do I dispose of household hazardous waste or electronics in Baton Rouge?

The Recycling Office holds semi-annual Household Hazardous Materials Collection Days each spring and fall for paints, chemicals, and similar items; businesses' waste is not accepted at these events. Year-round, electronics and computers can go to the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council (CACRC), a nonprofit and the only R2-certified e-waste recycler in Louisiana, or to Atlas Electronics Recycling, which offers free residential pickup. Hazardous materials are never allowed in the curbside cart or at the curb.

What about bulky trash pickup and scrap metal in Baton Rouge?

Out-of-cart collection runs once a week and covers up to 10 items per household, with a maximum of three counted as bulk waste or recyclables; extra items roll to the next collection day. Bulk waste covers furniture, mattresses, water heaters, white goods, and lawnmowers, and should be set out unbagged rather than boxed. Louisiana has no bottle deposit law, so scrap value on cans and metal appliances comes from private scrap buyers and the white-goods drop-off at the North Landfill, not a refundable container deposit.

Baton Rouge Recycling Tips

  • •Rinse cans, bottles, and plastic containers before putting them in the recycling cart; food residue is one of the biggest contamination problems at the MRF.
  • •Keep the recycling cart lid closed and items loose, not bagged; bagged recyclables often get treated as trash at the sorting facility.
  • •If you live in an apartment or run a small business, you can self-haul recyclables any day of the week to the Tom Drive drop-off, no need to wait for a curbside cart.
  • •Save paint, chemicals, and pesticides for the spring or fall Household Hazardous Materials Collection Day instead of setting them at the curb, since they're never accepted with regular trash.
  • •During hurricane season, watch brla.gov for storm-specific debris collection announcements; after major storms like Hurricane Francine the city activates a separate contracted debris removal schedule outside normal bulky pickup.
