Household Hazardous Waste Day Set for September 9 in Lafayette

Dec 23, 2023

The next Household Hazardous Waste Day, hosted by Lafayette Consolidated Government, will take place on Saturday, September 9, 2023, from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm at Cajun Field (enter from West Congress Street).

This is an opportunity for residents to get rid of household chemicals that are dangerous to dispose of down drains, in trash carts, and in recycling carts. Electronics will not be accepted on this day.

As usual, this event is for residents of the City of Lafayette and unincorporated areas only. Bring a picture ID to show proof of residency.

LCG's Environmental Quality Division reminds citizens that improper disposal of household chemicals can pose a threat to health, contaminate land, air, and water supplies, and cause injury to staff collecting our garbage. That's why it's important to participate in this event.

You've got a few weeks to do some cleaning up and go through your garages, sheds, and the like and find some of the things below.
