(504) 639-5039A local disposal site on Lapalco Boulevard serving Marrero residents and small haulers. People drop off household and yard debris here, and it’s the kind of place locals swing by when cleaning out the garage or after a storm. It sits on a fairly large lot with the kinds of piles and equipment typical of municipal disposal sites.
Drive in and pull up to the entrance area where there’s usually a booth and a scale nearby; it’s common to be weighed on the way in or out. The lot is open and industrial-looking, with compactors, trucks moving around, and loose material in piles or pits. After bad weather the ground can get muddy and there are often wet-weather procedures in place, so expect some slick spots and slower traffic. Lines form on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so there can be a wait to get to the drop-off point.
