Recycling programs are established by parish and city
officials; therefore, SWeeDee cannot offer recycling to all of its service
areas. As of November 1, 2006, the City of Thibodaux and the
City of Port Allen have
curbside recycling service. Pointe Coupee Parish and
Iberville Parish have satellite recycling centers.

Recycled items include paper products, aluminum and tin cans and plastic
containers. No glass please. Paper products include newspapers, magazines,
cardboard, computer paper, etc. (Left) SWeeDee loves to be a part of school activities, and the students love our big trucks. We use this opportunity to teach the importance of recycling reusable goods to protect the environment for generations to come. |
Recycling Tips
We ask that
no glass be included in recycling for two reasons: because it damages the
specialized recycling machinery and because it serves as a good base for
landfills.
Paper products are valuable recycling materials. We accept all paper products, including newspapers, computer paper, catalogs, magazines and cardboard. We are particularly encouraging small businesses to recycle their paper products.
Whenever possible we ask that paper products be protected from excessive moisture, that caps be removed from bottles and that plastic bottles be flattened by cutting into four pieces. This helps in the sorting process and makes the process more beneficial for all.
