7923 Tom Dr, Baton Rouge, LA 70806

(225) 963-9170

Baton Rouge Recycling Facility on Tom Drive is where a lot of neighbors drop off their sorted recyclables and cleanup loads. Folks who prefer to sort things themselves instead of waiting for curb pickup use this spot for household recycling and seasonal cleanouts.

Pulling onto 7923 Tom Dr, expect an open, industrial-looking yard with large bins and roll-off containers rather than a neat storefront. Like most recycling centers, it handles common curbside materials such as paper and cardboard, plastics, glass and metal, and sometimes hosts special collection events for things like electronics or tires. Have items separated and cardboard flattened before getting out of the car to speed unloading. Weekends and spring-cleanup times usually mean more cars, so plan for a short line if arriving then.

Before You Go

  • Flatten boxes, tie up loose paper, and load similar items together so unloading is faster and less awkward.
  • Wear gloves and bring a helper for heavy items - dumpsters and truck beds are a pain solo and can be slippery.
  • Aim for a weekday morning if possible; it's usually quieter than weekend afternoons during cleanup season.
