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.

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.

Recycling Bins are available for the City of Thibodaux at 1219 Henry Thibodaux Road, 446-7223 by showing a City utility bill to get a bin. Bins are also available by calling SWeeDee at
