Recycling in Denham Springs: A Local Guide
Denham Springs, Louisiana — a city of roughly 10,000 in Livingston Parish just east of Baton Rouge — has three recycling-related businesses in the city directory, each serving a different need. For scrap metal, residents and contractors have two competing buyers on opposite sides of town. Modern Metals Recycling at 7968 Florida Blvd (225-665-4180) is the larger operation — part of what the company bills as Baton Rouge's oldest family-owned scrap yard, with a second location in Prairieville. Modern Metals buys both ferrous metals (steel, iron) and non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, exotic alloys), making it a one-stop shop for mixed metal loads. Open Monday–Friday 8 AM–3:30 PM; closed weekends.
J & J Scrap Metal & Recycling at 8850 Hess Ln (225-998-5141) specializes strictly in non-ferrous metals — copper, aluminum, brass, AC coils, insulated wire, catalytic converters, aluminum rims, and lead-acid batteries. It also offers junk car haul-away with payment for scrap value. J & J's key advantage over Modern Metals is Saturday availability: open Monday–Thursday 8:30 AM–5 PM, Friday 8:30 AM–4 PM, and Saturday 8:30 AM–12 PM. Louisiana law requires sellers at both yards to show valid photo ID for all metal transactions.
For used smartphones and small electronics, the ecoATM kiosk at the Walmart Supercenter, 34025 LA Highway 16 (in the Grocery Vestibule), accepts phones, tablets, and MP3 players — paying instant cash for qualifying devices and recycling the rest for free. The kiosk is open daily 7 AM–7 PM, which is shorter than the store itself. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for any sale.
Denham Springs is in Livingston Parish. For municipal solid waste and curbside recycling questions, contact Livingston Parish Government's solid waste department. Neighboring communities with additional recycling resources include Baton Rouge, Prairieville, Walker, and Hammond. Livingston Parish does not have a year-round public drop-off for household hazardous waste (HHW); residents should watch for periodic parish HHW collection events.
