TPCG Continues to Make Recycling Easier for Residents

Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet would like to announce the ongoing efforts to make recycling easier and more efficient for residents in Terrebonne.

First, Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government is seeking participation in a proposed residential curb-side recycling program. The cost of participation would be $10 per quarter ($40 per year) for weekly collection of eligible recyclables including most paper, cardboard, plastics, and tin and aluminum cans. One recycling container will be provided to each participating household for the storage and collection of mixed (single stream) recyclables. Once begun, this program would replace the current Community Recycling Program drop-off bins in the established service area. This program can only be offered if a minimum number of residents in an area subscribe.

Those interested in registering for the proposed curb-side program can do so by:

  • Registering on-line at www.tpcg.org/recycling
  • Emailing recycling@tpcg.org
  • Calling the Solid Waste Division at 985-873-6767
  • Subscribing at the TPCG Customer Service Department located at the Government Towers Building, 8026 Main Street in Houma or at Consolidated Waterworks District #1 office located at 8814 Main Street.

The locations of the remaining
six recycling bins are unchanged
and are as follows:


Bayou Cane Fire Station
6166 West Main Street

Concord Shopping Center
1238 Saint Charles Street

Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center
346 Civic Center Blvd.

American Legion Hall
602 Legion Avenue

Little Caillou Fire Station
5016 Highway 56

East Houma Shopping Center/Bingo Hall
Grand Caillou Road

In addition to the curb side recycling program, Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government has added two additional community recycling bins to the area. These bins are located in the Southland Mall parking lot in the vicinity of the Sears loading dock as well as the parking lot of the Dularge Recreation Center located at 1330 Dr. Beatrous Road. Residents are also reminded that these bins accept paper, plastics, and aluminum recyclables in a single-stream fashion; there is no need to separate or bag your recyclables.

“Our recycling program is gaining momentum every day,” explained Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet. “We encourage everyone to get more information and to register for our convenient curb-side recycling program.”
