    I am SO grateful to this organization for creating a solution to a problem we have had in the city for quite some time. GLASS RECYCLING!!! Anyone else remember back before Katrina when we had curb-side glass recycling pickup? They offer pick-up (at a nominal fee), as well as FREE drop off, and then they use the waste to help solve a few different environmental issues (sand bags for flooding issues and coastal restoration). I am so glad to have this program within a reasonable distance from my home, and I love that I know that it is going to serve a greater good. Not only do they offer a creative solution to the problem of a place to put your used empty wine and beer bottles (other than into the landfills), they use the waste by recycling it into "sand and glass cullet for disaster relief, coastal restoration, eco-construction, new glass, and so much more!" WIN-WIN!!!

    Best of all the glass is turned into sand which is then used in coastal erosion projects!

This multiroom warehouse offers a plethora of bits and bobs from donated and gathered home improvement wares. One time I picked up an old door, an old timey facet head and some hinges. From these super economical finds, I was able to fabricate a garden gate, using the faucet as a creative spin on a traditional doorknob or latch. I love it. Recently, I eye spied, a partially used tub of tile adhesive and several random tiles. They'd be the perfect solution with someone with a tiny bathroom or counter top that needed sprucing up. You can find doors, windows, screen, light fixtures, tiles, wood, paint, and a whole host of parts that you can't pick up at any big box store. Think of the green project like a thrift store for your house or creative endeavor. Be patient and diligent, as it can be hit or miss.

    This is a very important spot to know about if you own a historic home in the New Orleans area…read more There is a huge inventory of historic buildings in the New Orleans area which suffer due to the challenging environment of the region along with time that results in ongoing damage to different parts of these old buildings and it is hard to find replacement parts. The Green Project is essentially a graveyard of houses that have been sadly torn down and the remaining good parts salvaged which allows current homes to be repaired with the remains of destroyed ones. The biggest negative here is the sticker shock prices of many of the items as you are no longer getting good deals on many of the items which might have been much more possible right after Hurricane Katrina.

I don't understand what is going on, but people down here are weird about the rain. Coming from a place that thrives on recycling, the New Orleans area has been quite the bitter pill. They seem to make it difficult to recycle. Looking for this location is difficult. Allied waste management services is the name of the company. The first entrance looks like its for the corporate office. The second entrance is for the trucks to come and bring recycling. The third entrance is not marked, but has two bins for single stream recycling. If you have a large load, turning around might be a bit tight, but can be done to load out of the truck or trailer. Louisiana is renown for destroying the environment. Even if this is a load of crap, and this company doesn't actually recycle anything, it makes me feel better to think I am contributing to a better future here is not much information on their website about the hours, or their location, But I am assuming it is a safe bet to assume they are open week days during normal business hours.

The next yard looks like a driveway with three containers and a sign that has the schedule. Here is the deal, if you can manage backing into the driveway, that is the most efficient means to open up your vehicle trunk or climb into the bed of your truck and unload everything into the container of your choice. No need to put paper products in one container or anything; just toss all the stuff in the container and be done with it. Mornings are usually busy, so that is a hassle.

    So a couple of friends and I had to dispose of two 26' truckloads of damaged furniture last week…read more We rented a box truck, loaded it up, and headed out on a voyage to this great unknown literal wasteland. The entry signage could be a little larger and more conspicuous, but perhaps a bright, flashing neon monolith broadcasting "DUMP HERE" migh be misconstued in all kinds of ways in the Big Easy. After passing up the more reserved and understated entrance, and making the requisite u-turns to make our way back, we found ourselves in a short queue of trucks looking to likewise loosen their loads. The line was short and moved efficiently for something run by the city. We did note that it was "cash only" and that there was prevalent "no smoking" signage, which we found odd due to the fact that a huge nasty landfill seemed like the perfect venue for smokers to puff away without bothering anyone else. The people staffing the truck queue were quite friendly. We only found out that they don't take televisions or mattresses upon inspection of our load, but such impermissible contraband only constituted a small percentage of what we were disposing and we were simply asked not to deposit those items at the site. So it turned out that for a mere $20 per truckload, we were treated to some exemplary seagull and crane watching, a really cool monster equipment show consisting of heavy duty construction vehicles crushing unfathomable quantities of oversized garbage, some spectacular elevated views of the New Orleans Central Business District from a hilltop created from vast quantitites of other people's waste, and a free workout hurling all of the items packed into our truck into a giant pile over the edge of a small hill on a steamy July day in New Orleans. All in all, it was an immensely pleasurable experience and the place didn't smell anywhere near as bad as some of the moldy furniture of which we were disposing. Between us, I'm sure me and my friends burned more than 1,000 calories! If you ever have the opportunity to venture here, I highly recommend it. You just might want to squeeze your trip here in prior to consuming any huge meals.
