Recycling in Scott: A Local Guide
Scott, Louisiana (ZIP 70583) sits just west of Lafayette along Interstate 10 in Lafayette Parish's Acadiana region. The town has two recycling-related businesses on record: Colt Scrap Tire Center, a full-scale tire processor at 1223 Delhomme Avenue, and Republic Services, the regional waste-hauler office at 201 Mire Street that coordinates residential and commercial curbside collection.
For drop-off tire recycling, Colt Scrap Tire Center — now a division of Liberty Tire Recycling — is open Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM, and accepts up to five passenger, light-truck, or off-road tires per person per day without an appointment. The plant is licensed by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and processes more than 150,000 tires per month, making it one of the largest tire-recycling operations in the state. Larger loads from tire shops or businesses require a call ahead to (337) 235-0353.
For general recyclables — paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and glass — Scott residents should use Lafayette Consolidated Government's network of 12 parish drop-off stations scattered throughout Lafayette Parish, or the Acadiana Waste Services facility at 2107 Carmel Drive in Lafayette (Mon–Fri 8 AM–5 PM, Sat 8 AM–noon). Scott's Republic Services office can answer questions about curbside recycling service but is not a public drop-off site.
Other recycling resources in the Acadiana region include centers in nearby Lafayette, Lake Charles, and Baton Rouge. The Louisiana DEQ also maintains a statewide recycling locator at deq.louisiana.gov for household hazardous waste events and electronics recycling programs throughout the year.
