Does Ruston LA have curbside recycling?
Yes. Ruston offers weekly curbside recycling in a blue 96-gallon bin for $10.00 a month; sign up through Customer Service at (318) 251-8675. Inside city limits, the Monday garbage route gets recycling on Thursday and the Tuesday route gets it on Friday. Customers outside city limits (3-mile radius) get Friday pickup. Only city-issued bins are collected.
What can you put in the Ruston LA recycling bin?
The blue bin takes newspapers, magazines, junk mail, office paper, boxboard, envelopes, cardboard cut into small pieces, aluminum cans and foil, rinsed tin and steel cans, and #1 through #7 plastic bottles, jugs, jars, and tubs. Glass, Styrofoam, light bulbs, food waste, pizza boxes, meat trays, hardcover books, and yard waste stay out. A bin with garbage in it is not picked up, and a fine goes on the next bill.
What are the Ruston LA recycling drop-off hours?
The drop-off site at the Public Works Complex, 2609 S. Farmerville St., is open Monday through Thursday 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Bring very large boxes and other recyclables that do not fit in the blue bin. Call (318) 242-7703 with questions.
How does bulk and brush pickup work in Ruston LA?
Put debris at the side of the road, clear of power lines, mailboxes, meters, gates, and vehicles, in separate piles. Limbs, grass, loose leaves, pine straw, and hedge trimmings make one pile; sofas and other household goods make a second; appliances go in a third. The city does not pick up tires, brick, concrete, or contractor debris. Bagged leaves and pine straw go out with household trash.
Who do I call about a missed trash pickup in Ruston LA?
Call the Public Works Complex at (318) 242-7703 for a missed pickup, a cracked cart, a missing wheel or lid, or a hole left after debris pickup, and a work order is created. Set the cart out the evening before pickup, wheels toward the house and opening toward the street. When your pickup day falls on a holiday, collection moves to Wednesday of that week.
