A recycling drop-off program is a free community-based initiative that allows community members to drop off recyclable materials at designated collection sites. This is a great way to recycle when curbside pick-up is unavailable.

Below is a list of what can be dropped off:

• Plastic bottles & containers (Labeled #1-6)

• Aluminum cans

• Cardboard (flattened)

• Newspaper, junk mail, mixed paper - all colors and types.

You can find the drop-off container located at the cul-de-sac directly behind the Coushatta Tribal Police Station on the Reservation. Please look for the signs!

The drop-off container has designated compartments for each type of recycling. You will need to pay attention to the labels to ensure the materials are being palced in the proper bin.

We encourage community members of the Coushatta Tribe to recycle as much as needed. Please contact the Environmental Department at 337-584-1538 for assistance or of notice that the bin is reaching capacity.

It’s best ot avoid dropping off heavily soiled materials with food or grease, or dirty, as they contaminate the recycling stream, and can attract pests, insects, and rodents.
