HAZARDOUS WASTE
St. Landry Parish Solid Waste has one household hazardous waste collection day a year.
Thanks to each participant of our annual Household Hazardous Waste Day event held on Saturday, November 5, 2011, at our Recycling Centers in Opelousas and Eunice.
Over 200 St. Landry Parish residents safely disposed of their household chemicals, oil, tires, paint, electronics and other hazards, diverting over 6 tons of materials from our landfill and helping to protect the soil and water from these pollutants.
