The City of Zachary is proud to announce that it has been awarded a Keep Louisiana Beautiful Trash Receptacle Grant. Through this initiative, four new “Let Louisiana Shine – Stop Littering” receptacles have been installed at the newly constructed Zachary Police Station on Old Slaughter Road.
The purpose of this grant is to help communities reduce litter and maintain cleaner, more attractive public spaces. Research shows that the presence of properly placed and maintained trash receptacles can reduce litter by as much as 78 percent.
“We are grateful for this opportunity to partner with Keep Louisiana Beautiful and the State of Louisiana,” said [Insert City Official’s Name/Title]. “These receptacles are an important step in our commitment to keeping Zachary clean and welcoming for residents and visitors alike.”
The City of Zachary extends its appreciation to Keep Louisiana Beautiful, the State of Louisiana, and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor for their continued support in promoting a cleaner, greener community.
The City of Zachary, in partnership with Waste Management, is announcing important updates to recycling and garbage collection services for residents.
Beginning October 6, 2025,Waste Management will deliver new 96-gallon recycling carts to households across Zachary. These larger carts will replace the current 18-gallon bins and are designed to accommodate increased recycling capacity. The new carts will be serviced using automated trucks, phasing out the older rear-load collection system.
Residents who wish to keep their old 18-gallon bins may do so; however, Waste Management will no longer collect recyclables from them once the new carts are in place.
Additionally, new garbage and recycling rates will go into effect in October:
- Residential Garbage & Recycling: $33.30
- Senior Garbage & Recycling (inside city limits): $18.15
These upgrades are an important step in making Zachary’s sanitation services more efficient and sustainable. We appreciate the community’s cooperation as we continue working toward a cleaner, greener city.
For more information, residents may contact the City of Zachary, 225 654-1902.
