Notes regarding time
Also on January 12 and January 13Description
Support coastal restoration with Jefferson Parish's 29th Annual Christmas Tree Recycling Project. Recycle your Christmas tree! Christmas trees will be collected curbside throughout unincorporated Jefferson Parish, Gretna, Harahan, Kenner, Lafitte and Westwego and will be recycled to nourish shoreline protection along Goose Bayou in the Town of Lafitte.
Residents are advised to place trees curbside on the evening of Wednesday, January 9, 2019. Garbage trucks will make one pass through each neighborhood to collect trees on the 11th, 12th and 13th of January. Prior to placing trees curbside, trees must be free of all lights, tinsel, garland, ornaments, tree stands, and plastic bags. Only green trees can be recycled; artificial, flocked or painted trees will not be picked up.
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED on Saturday February 9, 2019, especially those with shallow draft boats to move trees from a Lafitte staging area to the pre-constructed shoreline fences along the bayou. This is a great opportunity to get out on the water and see Jefferson Coastal Restoration in action!
