Recycling in the greater New Orleans Metro area can be difficult. Yes, you can have bins given at…read moreyour house, but that can be tricky. For example, I currently live in a townhouse, and my neighbor has a major thing AGAINST recycling and does not want to even see the bins. Which would only be mildly annoying if she were not the adult daughter of the owner and threw a hissy fit both times the bins were dropped off and now the city will not bring the bins back because of her foul mouth. I be happy when I move away from her. Any way. The second Saturday of each month, recycling is accepted here. Heading from the lake on Elysian Fields, stay in the right lane, go to the right of the overpass after going under the 610 at the Waffle House, make a left under the overpass, and there should be someone standing at the gate to guide you. Heading to the lake, make a u-turn and go under the overpass. It is not real well marked. They are back to accepting glass. They do accept electronics, paper, plastic and so on. Every three months, they have shredding capabilities. You can bring up to 4 used tires for recycling. They are super helpful with unloading and helping you separate your recyclables. This is a great place to be able to drop stuff off (when they are open). This is a major part of my ritual. One day, hopefully, there will be a campaign by the city to make the population more aware of the damaging affects of garbage, and what we can do to save the environment. Until then, I will happily be one of the few to come here.

The Green project is a must for any DIY, creative maker, home improvement peoples or…read morevintage/historic home owner. 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 review reflects the boards members and the manager, Jasmine of The Green Project. On a…read moreSaturday of February 28, I visited The Green Project, a salvage store facility in New Orleans where all items are donated. I've been a customer for over 5-years and have made many donations as well as many purchases. I intended to buy a pallet of flooring; I gave my credit card to the cashier to pay for the flooring; I made a hasty decision because I was leaving town in a few days, then I changed my mind. On Sunday, the following day the stored was closed, I made contact with one of the stores workers by the name of Jerome. I told him I decided not to buy the flooring and requested my credit card be credited back to me for the $1980. On Monday I called and asked if I needed to bring my card to the store for the 1980 refund. I spoke to the Manager by the name of Jasmine; she informed me that they don't give refunds. Of course, I thought that was ridicules because I hadn't even removed anything from the store and proceeded to call the credit card company and file a claim for the $1980 to be refunded. Credit One gave me a temporary refund, I left town a few days later, when I returned, I still didn't think there was a problem until May 6, 2026, the day my bank reversed the credit claim, and I owed my creditor $1980. Since then, I've made attempt after another trying to recover those funds and I have not been successful. At this time my credit account is past due, and I refuse to pay for something I did not receive. The Green project sold the flooring to someone else. The manager Jasmine told my creditor that I had picked up the flooring and also told them there was a large, posted sign stating, "no refund policy", but this is not true, there was no sign at all posted. The Green Project knows very well I did not pick up the flooring, and they should've simply refunded my card. Basically, this is theft.

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.

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.

On the west side of David Drive, between Airline Highway and Metairie Rd, you pull in the entrance, there is a shack just inside the gates, tell the person what you are there for and make your way in. In the middle is a raised platform to be able to drop appliances into the large bins (like dumpsters for construction sites), which makes unloading easy. On the edges are spots for fluids like oil, brake fluid and the like. In a corner is a dumpster for recycling of household goods. There was someone there the day I went to help unload the vehicle, which was good as I just moved and had a lot of packing materials to recycle. It was free to drop off household items, I am not sure if there is a charge for larger items. You then exit on to David drive, so it is a loop that you go through. Mondays are the only days they are closed. I wish I had known about this before now. This is amazing! I am in heaven. Other places are only open one Saturday a month, or on weekdays that are not raining. Insanity. And the place I am currently living (an apartment building) does not offer recycling, so it is nice that I know of more options in the area.

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.
