Recycling in Prairieville: A Local Guide
Prairieville is a fast-growing community in Ascension Parish, LA, located along Airline Hwy between Baton Rouge and Gonzales. Residents have two very different recycling options within the community: a walk-up phone buyback kiosk and an established scrap metal yard.
The ecoATM kiosk sits in the Home Vestibule of the Walmart Supercenter (#5056) at 17585 Airline Hwy. The automated machine uses AI and electrical diagnostics to assess smartphones, foldables, and iPods, and pays instant cash — no staff needed, no appointment. Before visiting, get an estimate at ecoatm.com, factory reset your device, and bring a state-issued photo ID. The kiosk is available Mon–Fri 9 AM–6 PM and Sat 10 AM–6 PM (closed Sunday).
For scrap metal, Modern Metals Recycling – Prairieville (also listed as Southside Recycling) occupies an 11-acre paved yard at 15542 Airline Hwy. The family-owned company buys ferrous and non-ferrous metals — steel, iron, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel — as well as junk vehicles. Customers are weighed and paid cash on the spot. The yard also runs a large roll-off container fleet for commercial demolition and construction projects throughout Louisiana. Hours are Mon–Fri 8 AM–3:30 PM; closed weekends.
Note that the listing for Southside Recycling in local directories refers to the same Modern Metals facility at 15542 Airline Hwy with the same phone number — (225) 673-4160. Prairieville does not have a municipal household recycling drop-off; for HHW or general recyclables, Ascension Parish residents should check with Ascension Parish Solid Waste or the nearest parish facility in Gonzales. See the Louisiana recycling directory for options in nearby Gonzales, Baton Rouge, and Denham Springs.
