The City of New Orleans offers once weekly curbside recycling to properties that are eligible for the collection of solid waste by the City. 

Residents who are eligible for City sanitation services will receive one free recycling container. Recycling containers should be delivered within four weeks of request.

In the areas outside the French Quarter and Downtown Development District, the City provides one free 64-gallon blue Recycling Roll Cart per eligible unit. In the French Quarter and Downtown Development District, the City provides one free 18-gallon blue Recycling Bin per eligible unit. 

You may write your house number on the container with a grease pen or spray paint for easy identification.

If you received a recycling cart sticker in the mail, please attach it to the clean and dry lid of your black recycling cart. This sticker will help our crews see which carts are for recycling versus trash, making it faster and safer for them to collect your items.

If your street is closed for construction, please bring your cart to the closest accessible corner for collection. Mark your house number on the container with a grease pen or spray paint for easy identification.
