Residents of Lafayette and the unincorporated areas of Lafayette Parish can get rid of items which are normally difficult to dispose of. The third annual Neighborhood Clean-up takes place Saturday in conjunction with local government and Allied Waste on Saturday, October 27, 2012
Saturday's the day to get rid of those old paint cans, poisons and household chemicals! Safe disposal is important because chemicals that have been stored for extended periods pose a health threat if spilled, especially to children and pets. It’s also important to keep chemicals out of garbage trucks in neighborhoods because chemicals have the potential of catching fire in a truck, or even worse, an explosion or fire could seriously injure personnel working on a garbage truck.
If your regular garbage or recycling collection day is Friday, you will receive service on Good Friday.
For those persons in the cities of Lafayette and Carencro, and in unincorporated areas of Lafayette Parish, excess garbage outside of the automated cart will be collected next week if it is bagged, and each bag does not exceed 35 pounds
Allied Waste and the Recycling Foundation will run their regularly scheduled garbage and recycling collection routes Christmas week, Dec. 20-24.
