Small parish facility in Creole where locals bring household trash, yard clippings and the usual neighborhood cleanup stuff. Regular people from the parish and nearby areas use it-pickup trucks and small trailers are common here. The place looks like a working dump rather than a tidy recycling center.
Drive up to a guarded entrance area with a booth and a gate; many folks slow down there to check in before pulling through. There are separate drop spots for different kinds of loads, so drivers circle around to find the right pile. Expect a gravel lot, some heavy equipment moving about, and the ground can stay wet and muddy after rain. Because Louisiana facilities plan for wet weather and storms, bring something to cover your load and be ready for slower traffic during busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose material with tarps-loads here get soggy fast after a rain and wind picks things up.
- Sort trash, recyclables and yard waste in the truck before pulling up so unloading goes quicker.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; those tend to be the busiest times, especially after storms or spring cleanups.
