Going on gut instinct here. Now this is what I'm talking about! This is run by the state. Self service recycling. On the west side of David Drive, between Airline Highway and Metairie Rd, you pull in the entrance, there is a shack just inside the gates, tell the person what you are there for and make your way in.
In the middle is a raised platform to be able to drop appliances into the large bins (like dumpsters for construction sites), which makes unloading easy. On the edges are spots for fluids like oil, brake fluid and the like. In a corner is a dumpster for recycling of household goods. There was someone there the day I went to help unload the vehicle, which was good as I just moved and had a lot of packing materials to recycle. It was free to drop off household items, I am not sure if there is a charge for larger items.
You then exit on to David drive, so it is a loop that you go through. Mondays are the only days they are closed. I wish I had known about this before now. This is amazing! I am in heaven. Other places are only open one Saturday a month, or on weekdays that are not raining. Insanity. And the place I am currently living (an apartment building) does not offer recycling, so it is nice that I know of more options in the area. read more
