City of Zachary Announces New Residential Recycling Days

Beginning this month, Waste Management began collecting residential recycling within the city limits of Zachary. This service will be provided once a week per customer. Your recycle route is based on your address and recently might have changed with the new company contract.

All recyclable materials must be in a green recycling bin. If you need a green bin, they are available for pickup at the City of Zachary annex, located at 4750 Main Street. All recyclable materials can be mixed in these bins. It is best to put your recycling out the night before it is to be picked up, since route pickup begins early in the morning.

“We feel that contracting with the same company for both garbage and recycling will be a plus in the City of Zachary, both economically and efficiently,” says Mayor David Amrhein.
