Cameron Parish Solid Waste on Lowry Hwy is the local spot where folks from Lake Arthur and nearby areas drop off household trash, yard debris, and recyclables. It’s the kind of place neighbors use for regular cleanups and post-storm sorting, not a flashy operation but practical and familiar to town residents.
Drive up to a simple entrance with an attendant booth and a place to pull off for unloading. Bring loads already sorted as much as possible; there are separate piles and bins for different materials, so having things separated saves time. The ground can be muddy or damp after rain, so the site looks a bit rough when wet and trucks often queue on busy days. Expect a short stop at the entrance and then a slow pull-through to the drop-off area, where vehicles back up to piles or bins to empty out.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads-high moisture and wind are common here, so tarps and tie-downs keep trash from blowing out on the highway.
- Put recyclables and yard waste on top of the truck or in an easy-to-reach spot to speed unloading once at the bins.
- Plan around busy times like weekend mornings or spring cleanup; backing up onto Lowry Hwy can happen if many people show up at once.
