Recycling in Sorrento: A Local Guide
Sorrento is a small town in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, roughly 30 miles south of Baton Rouge on LA-70. The two facilities listed here sit within a quarter mile of each other on the same highway — but neither is a household recycling center for paper, glass, or plastics. Both are debris and solid-waste disposal sites. For curbside recycling or parish-sponsored household hazardous waste events, contact Ascension Parish government directly.
Republic Services Colonial Landfill at 5328 LA-70 is a RCRA Subtitle D permitted landfill operated by Republic Services that has served the community since 1982. It accepts municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, contaminated soil, yard waste, and sludge from residential and commercial customers. Hours are Monday–Friday 6:00 AM–4:00 PM and Saturday 6:00–11:00 AM. Fees vary by volume and waste type — call (225) 675-8021 before arriving. The facility accepts credit cards, money orders, and checks but does not accept cash. Louisiana law prohibits landfill disposal of used oil, lead-acid batteries, and whole tires.
Gator Debris Landfill & Recycling at 5194 LA-70 focuses on construction and demolition debris — shingles, roofing, brick, asphalt, lumber, sheetrock, metal, yard waste, and sand — open to both residential and commercial customers. Its standout service is on-site concrete crushing: clean waste concrete is processed into crushed aggregate for reuse. Hours are 6:30 AM–3:30 PM; call (225) 675-7000 for tipping fees. White goods, household trash, hazardous waste, liquid waste, infectious waste, friable asbestos, and batteries are prohibited.
