Solid Waste Facility
Plaquemines Parish Solid Waste
170 Sewer Plant Rd, Belle Chasse, LA 70037
(504) 934-6991A local solid waste facility for Plaquemines Parish residents and contractors, located in Belle Chasse. Small but practical, it handles general household trash, yard trimmings, and some recycling options for neighborhood drop-offs.
There’s an entrance booth and a drive-in layout where vehicles pull up to report in before moving through the yard. Expect to cross a scale on the way in or out - many parish sites use weight to assess loads, so plan for a short stop. The site is mostly open lots with piles and roll-off containers; look for signs and follow the flow of traffic. Weekends and seasonal cleanups can get busy, so lines sometimes form at the entrance and the scale.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring a tarp or tie-downs for loose loads - wind and wet weather are common in this area.
- Have loads sorted as much as possible before arriving so it’s quicker to unload and get back on the road.
- Plan for extra time on Saturdays and after storms; lines and slower processing are typical.
