Metairie Trash Drop

400 David Dr, Metairie, LA 70003

Metairie Trash Drop is the neighborhood place folks use to dump household piles and cleanup hauls. Located off David Drive, it’s where cars, pickups, and small trailers line up when yard work or storm cleanup piles up. Locals swing by with everything from old furniture to bags of clippings.

A small entrance area with a booth and a scale is typical, so be ready to stop and be weighed before you go in and again on the way out. The site feels industrial: concrete bays, low berms, and large collection piles or containers visible from the drive. Pull-up lanes guide vehicles to the drop-off points; large trucks and pickups move slower through the lot, so keep an eye out for backing vehicles and forklifts. During rainy spells the ground gets slick and wet-weather procedures are apparent-tarps and extra cleanup around wet loads are common.

Before You Go

  • Avoid mid-morning on weekends if possible; lines build fast during spring cleanup and after storms.
  • Secure and tarp loose loads before coming-high moisture and wind can turn a loose truck bed into a messy cleanup.
  • Plan the order of items in the truck for quick unloading: heavy, unwieldy stuff first, loose bags last to save time at the drop-off.
