Recycling in Mandeville Begins With You!
IF YOU LIVE INSIDE CITY LIMITS
Every Wednesday is Curbside Recycling Day. Mandeville is one of the few cities in the parish to offer curbside recycling
to those living inside the city limits. Take advantage of it, and do something good for our community. If you need a
recycling bin, call Mandeville City Hall at 626-3144.
IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS
Keep Mandeville Beautiful, partnering with St. Tammany Fire District #4, Mandeville Public Works, and Coastal Waste
Services has opened a recycling drop off site. The recycling drop off site is located in the parking lot across the street
from the fire station on Girod Street. Do not sort items. Do not put bagged recyclables in the containers – loose items
only. Do not leave bags of recyclables outside of the container.
