Recycling in Zachary: A Local Guide
Zachary, Louisiana — a growing city in the northern tip of East Baton Rouge Parish — has two recycling listings in our directory. The more accessible for most residents is the ecoATM kiosk inside the Walmart Supercenter at 5801 Main St. This automated buyback machine pays instant cash, Venmo, or PayPal for used smartphones and foldable phones — it does not accept tablets at this location. The kiosk is in the Home Vestibule and is open during Walmart's store hours. Bring a valid state-issued driver's license; you must be 18 or older, and your device must have all account locks (iCloud, Google FRP) removed before the transaction.
The second listing is Northside Recycling at 6760 LA-19, reachable at (225) 286-5686. No official website or authoritative secondary listing was found for this business during October 2026 research, so hours, accepted materials, and fees are unconfirmed. Call ahead before making the trip. The nature of operations — whether it accepts public drop-offs, handles commercial loads, or specializes in particular materials — could not be verified.
Neither Zachary listing functions as a full-service municipal recycling drop-off for everyday household items like cardboard, glass, or plastic bottles. East Baton Rouge Parish operates solid-waste programs that serve the Zachary area; contact the parish directly or check the Baton Rouge recycling directory for the nearest verified drop-off facilities. Residents in the area can also find options in Denham Springs, Port Allen, and Prairieville.
