In an effort to prevent illegal dumping of non-recyclable materials, the Bossier City Recycling Center will no longer be open for drive-thru services after hours and on the weekends.
The Bossier City Recycling Center, located at 3301 Old Shed Road, will have new hours: Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to noon.
The facility is no longer open for drive through services after hours and on the weekends.
The change in hours, along with the construction of a new fence, was done to prevent illegal dumping that had been occurring at the center, the City says. Non-recyclable trash items were being left at the facility when City employees were not there.
The photo above was taken on the morning of Tuesday, March 2, 2021. Public Works supervisor, Dale Keeler, says it is a small pile compared to what workers would usually find on Monday mornings.
“The City’s litter crews and street crew would spend anywhere from two to three hours clearing the trash left blocking the drive through area over the weekend,” Bossier City public information officer Traci Ponder said in a release. “That trash would then be placed into dumpsters that are charged to the City. As a result of the changes, the illegal dumping has been greatly reduced allowing City crews to attend to litter on the roadways and city streets.”
