Monday Recycling
Small businesses, single-family dwellings and multi-family dwellings that are eligible for solid waste collection by the City are eligible for curbside recycling collection by the City. Eligible properties include those with four units or less, which generate less than 35 gallons of solid waste at each routine collection within the French Quarter.
Orleans Parish residents should call 311 between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday-Friday, to register for the curbside recycling program and to arrange for the 18-gallon blue recycling bins provided by the City.
Recycling bins should be placed curbside no earlier than 7PM each Monday, but before 4AM Tuesday to ensure pick-up.
Items that can be recycled Monday evenings include:
- Paper (newspaper, magazines, junk mail, office paper, phone books, catalogs)
- Plastics (#1 through #7)
- Small metal cans (aluminum, steel, tin)
- Cardboard
- Paperboard (cereal boxes, toothpaste boxes)
- Waxed cartons (juice boxes, milk cartons)
Do-not-recycle items include:
- glass (to be recycled separately on Thursdays)
- styrofoam
- plastic bags & film
- bubble wrap
- pizza boxes
- food contaminated containers
