Recycling Guidelines
Accepted Materials
All items should be placed empty, clean, dry, and loose in the recycling cart. Do NOT bag recyclables.
What if the item has a recycling symbol?
While the recycling number or symbol can alert you to the possibility of being able to recycle it, this does not always mean that it is accepted in the curbside bin. If an item has a recycling number or symbol but is bulky, easily tangled, or in on the Not Accepted List below, DO NOT put it in your curbside recycling bin.
Items Not Accepted in Lafayette's Curbside Recycling:
Contact the Recycling office at recycling@lafayettela.gov or (337) 291-5637 to answer your questions about what is currently accepted curbside.
