    I have been living in Northern Louisiana for 3 months now. There are very few things recycled here. My LCD television was damaged, so I called a local repair shop and found that it was not worth repairing. I asked where it could be recycled and they told me that they recycle theirs in the landfill! Our city also does not recycle plastic of any kind nor glass or cardboard. It is very frustrating to live in a state, in a country that is supposed to be one of the best in the world but it can’t control its own garbage.

    I live in New Orleans and before hurricane Katrina we had a decent recyling program (weekly pickup). Much like a lot of things in our city the program has yet to return. There are a couple programs in place that you might not know about. There is a company that picks up curbside recyling for a 15 dollar a month fee. This is their information.

    Phoenix Recycling is offering curbside recycling to the city of New Orleans.To make it possible, they need to have enough people sign up. The fee is $15 a month, with a $1 discount for neighborhood association members. We will lower the price as more people join. Contact your neighborhood organization for group discounts. Phoenix will provide the bins and will collect twice a month. For more info, e-mail phoenix.recycling@gmail.com or call 504-914-0739

    Also if you visit this article http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4200/is_/ai_n21077752 it gives you details on monthly recyling events in New Orleans. There is a phone number in the article you can call to find out when the next event will be. Hope this helps and welcome to our great city.

    I have many magazines that I would like to recycle and don’t have a place that I know of to bring them.
    Please help me with this problem.

    Thank you, Linda Williams

    I just ran across an ad in the paper for a recycling center in Pineville, LA (middle of the state) “Best Metal Recyclers” 318-767-6585 – I called and they will take paper and plastic, as well. Hope this helps you!

    I wanted to say that I called that Best Metal Recyclers but they don’t buy plastic they will take it if you give it to them to just to recycle it. I am looking for a company that buys plastic to recycle it. I live in north Louisiana and I know so far I have not find a company yet that has it. But in Lafayette area does have places that recycles all kinds of things just have to look in the phone book or online.
