Metairie has 5 recycling-related options listed on this page, ranging from an electronics kiosk and a document shredding service to scrap-metal yards and a parish trash drop-off site. Because Metairie is unincorporated Jefferson Parish, waste and recycling here follow the parish program rather than a city department. Jefferson Parish does not run curbside recycling; instead it contracts weekly Saturday drop-off recycling (10 a.m.-2 p.m.) and operates staffed drop-off sites.
