Cameron Parish Solid Waste

370 Big Pasture Rd, Lake Charles, LA 70607

(337) 598-2794

Cameron Parish Solid Waste on Big Pasture Rd is the county solid waste facility that locals use for household trash, yard clippings, and drop-off recycling. Folks from around Lake Charles bring their loads here for disposal or sorting; it’s the practical place to get rid of oversized bags and green waste without a curb pickup.

Drive in off Big Pasture Rd and expect a facility laid out for truck and trailer access; larger vehicles and pickups are common on site. There is typically an entrance booth and scales at these types of solid waste facilities, so plan for a short stop to check in and be directed to the proper unloading area. Piles of mixed material and separate collection containers are easy to spot, and yard waste or brush piles are often set aside from general trash. After unloading, vehicles usually loop back past the scales or booth before leaving.

Before You Go

  • Bring a tarp or straps for loose loads-high-moisture storms are common in Louisiana and things can get soggy or blow around in wet weather.
  • Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy; arriving early in the morning can save time in line.
  • Secure and cover smaller items so they don’t scatter during transit; trailers and open beds are watched closely when pulling through the yard.
