JEFFERSON PARISH, La. — A new company will handle trash and recycling pick up in one part of Jefferson Parish beginning in the New Year.
Beginning January 1, 2024, twice-a-week garbage collection in unincorporated Jefferson Parish and the Town of Jean Lafitte will be provided by River Birch Renewable Energy LLC, which was awarded a 5-year contract by the Jefferson Parish Council.
River Birch takes over biweekly trash service in that area as the current waste contract with Waste Connections expires at the end of December. Rameli Waste will also be the new recycling service provider.
However, Jefferson Parish officials say a short gap in recycling service is expected before that contract takes effect next month. Customers will not be charged until service resumes.
If your pickup day is:
- Monday, the last day for curbside recycling will be Monday, December 25, 2023
- Tuesday, the last day for curbside recycling will be Tuesday, December 26, 2023
- Wednesday, the last day for curbside recycling will be Wednesday, December 27, 2023
- Thursday, the last day for curbside recycling will be Thursday, December 28, 2023
- Friday, the last day for curbside recycling will be Friday, December 29, 2023
- Saturday, the last day for curbside recycling will be Saturday, December 30, 2023
