Parish Disposal Industries (PDI) is the local disposal site off Swift Plant Road that people from Lake Charles use when clearing out a truckload or doing a neighborhood cleanup. Neighbors with pickups, trailers, or smaller hauls stop here rather than hauling things to a transfer station farther away.

Drive up the entrance road toward a small booth and a scale-disposal sites in the area typically weigh loads, so expect to pause for weighing on the way in and again on the way out. The site looks industrial: piles, compacted areas, and equipment moving about, especially after storms when wet material is common. There’s room to pull a trailer up to drop materials, but surfaces can be muddy and slick after heavy rain or during wet months. Lines build on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan on a short wait at the gate on busier days.

Before You Go

  • Cover and secure loose loads with a tarp; Louisiana’s high-moisture conditions mean wet, shifting material and the chance of losing debris on the drive in.
  • Bring gloves and boots - the ground is often muddy or uneven, and heavier items may need a hand to get into a pickup or trailer.
  • Try to avoid mid-morning weekends if possible; arriving earlier or later in the day can cut down on wait time when neighbors are doing yard cleanups.
