Recycling here is easy, not perfect. Drive down L&A Road and you will see the large recycling center with trucks and a warehouse operation for recycling — keep driving, do not stop here, as this is not where JP residents are allowed to bring the recyclable gems. The next yard looks like a driveway with three containers and a sign that has the schedule. Here is the deal, if you can manage backing into the driveway, that is the most efficient means to open up your vehicle trunk or climb into the bed of your truck and unload everything into the container of your choice. No need to put paper products in one container or anything; just toss all the stuff in the container and be done with it. Mornings are usually busy, so that is a hassle.

I’m writing this to explain how you can recycle in Jefferson Parish. The Allied Waste website doesn’t have this info — but from 7am to 3:30 pm you can drop off UNsorted recycleables in the large blue commercial bin. It sits right out front beyond the gate, just in front of the building. They do run a great program the 1^st Sat. Of Every month for recycle drop offs, but no one knows you can drop off your recycles at other times. Keep it green Metairie !
