Yard waste drop-off and free mulch in Louisiana
Many Southern cities and counties call yard waste drop-off a brush site, brush drop-off or convenience center. We list 6 sites in Louisiana (all from official sources); 6 take brush and branches and 1 offers free compost. 2 of the 6 list a residency or eligibility rule on the source page, so bring ID or a utility bill. Coverage for Louisiana is still thin — many towns and counties run programs we haven't listed yet, so check your city or county public works page too.
By type: 6 yard waste drop-off, 1 compost pickup, 6 brush & branches.
Call ahead. Hours, fees, residency rules and accepted materials change. Call or check the official source page before you go. Every listing links to its source.
