Does Houma have curbside recycling?

Where can I recycle metal in Terrebonne Parish?

Houma also has private scrap yards including EMR Southern Recycling, Scrap Connection, Reliant Recycling and American Recovery. Contact each for accepted materials and current buy-back prices.
Can I recycle my old phone in Houma?
Yes. Two Ecoatm kiosks in Houma accept phones and some small electronics and can pay for working devices. Accepted items and payouts vary, so check the kiosk's instructions before you go.
Is there a tire or styrofoam recycling option near Houma?
Louisiana charges a waste-tire fee that funds tire disposal, so tires are typically handled through dealers or parish programs rather than curbside. Styrofoam and other specialty materials are not part of the parish curbside program; check with TPCG Solid Waste or a national retailer take-back for current options, as availability varies.
