St Landry Parish Recycling

A small recycling center in Eunice that locals use to keep cardboard, paper, plastics, glass and metals out of the landfill. Neighbors and small businesses drop off sorted loads here, especially during yard-cleanup season. The site also follows the usual Louisiana practices for wet weather and hurricane prep, so some operations change when storms are nearby.

Drive up to a modest entrance with an attendant booth and a few large collection containers visible from the road. Pull forward to the scales if present - stopping there is common at similar sites - then head toward the row of bins; the recycling bins are typically grouped together so loads can be separated by material. The yard is open and can look muddy after heavy rain, and large piles or covered areas for bulk materials may be on-site when hurricane season approaches. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so the place can get busy and a little chaotic at peak times.
