Recycling in Covington: A Local Guide
Covington, the seat of St. Tammany Parish on Louisiana's North Shore, has two recycling businesses in our directory — but neither operates a free public walk-in drop-off in the traditional sense, so knowing what each does before you drive over is important. Technology Exchange LLC at 13406 Seymour Meyers Blvd (Suite 13) is a commercial e-waste recycler and data-destruction firm serving Gulf Coast businesses with DOD-compliant hard-drive wiping and certified electronics recycling. Residential households are not served on a walk-in basis, but Technology Exchange partners with local parishes and Whole Foods to run quarterly community drop-off events — contact them at techexchangeinfo@gmail.com for the next scheduled date.
The second listing, Lemon Tree Recycling Services, fills a genuine gap in St. Tammany Parish: it is the only dedicated curbside glass and metal collection service in the area. Running since 2020, Lemon Tree picks up glass bottles and jars and metal items from Covington subscribers on the first Tuesday of each month. Subscribers receive dedicated bins, must wash glass and remove lids, and must keep glass and metal in separate containers. Monthly subscriptions start at $20; households outside the current coverage zone can join a waiting list. The company also hosts periodic community drop-off events and serves local bars, restaurants, and wine shops directly.
For electronics, Louisiana's recycling directory lists additional options in the Greater New Orleans metro. For general household recyclables beyond glass and metal, St. Tammany Parish residents should contact the parish solid-waste department — the parish does not run a parish-wide curbside recycling program comparable to some urban parishes, making private services like Lemon Tree especially valuable. Nearby cities with recycling facilities include Mandeville, Slidell, and Hammond.
