Lafayette Parish residents can get rid of old trash and junk that aren’t typically picked up with regular garbage collection during “Debris Drop,” set for Saturday, October 24, 2020, from 8:00 a.m. until noon.
Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) and Republic Services are sponsoring the annual event, offering two drop-off locations - Brown Park at 1234 E. Pont Des Mouton Road and Neyland Park at 1919 Eraste Landry Road (behind the Robicheaux Recreation Center).
· Brown Park at 1234 E Pont Des Mouton Rd, Lafayette
“LCG and Republic Services want to help citizens properly dispose of some items that may not always get picked up curbside, or that can’t fit into a cart,” says LCG Environmental Quality Manager Bess Foret.

- Smaller waste, such as old clothes, shoes and other items should be placed in a bag or box.

Only items from households within LCG’s jurisdiction will be accepted. Driver’s licenses will be checked. Waste from businesses will not be accepted.
Items not accepted include:
