Waste Schedule For New Year Holiday

Allied Waste and the Recycling Foundation will run their regularly scheduled garbage and recycling collection routes on Friday, Dec. 31.   

     The week following the New Year holiday, Jan. 3-7, residents in the cities of Lafayette and Carencro, and in unincorporated areas of Lafayette Parish will receive collection of excess garbage outside of the automated garbage cart. All excess garbage must be in a bag, with each bag not to exceed 35 pounds.  Large boxes, containing only the original packing material, will also be collected if left on the ground. Discarded artificial Christmas trees may also be placed on the ground for collection the week following New Year. 

     Collection of excess garbage and boxes is scheduled each day this week, and each day next week.

      Natural Christmas trees should be cleaned of all lights and ornaments before placing them out for collection. Any Lafayette Parish resident may drop off a cleaned natural Christmas tree, at no charge, at the Lafayette Consolidated Government compost facility at 400 Dugas Rd. The compost facility will be closed Friday, Dec. 31 and on New Year’s day.
