Waste Facility
Republic Services of Baton Rouge
12451 Leisure Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70807
(225) 778-3800Republic Services of Baton Rouge is the local waste disposal site off Leisure Road used by homeowners and small businesses around Baton Rouge. Short drives from most neighborhoods make it a common stop for household cleanouts and yard debris. The site is clearly industrial-looking - large paved areas, rows of containers, and heavy trucks moving about.
Drive up to an entrance booth where personnel direct vehicles and traffic flow; there’s usually a scale nearby so vehicles may be weighed coming in or going out. Large roll-off trucks and pickups share the drive lanes, and backing in to dumpsters or drop-off bays is common. The yard can get muddy after heavy rain, and operations visibly shift to wet-weather routines during and after storms. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busiest with lines forming at the entrance.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose debris and cover loads - wet weather can make things heavier and messier, and roads and the site can be slick after rain.
- Bring gloves and durable shoes or boots; the ground and unloading areas can be uneven and dirty.
- Sort large items from small ones before getting to the site to speed up unloading once at the drop-off area.
