♻️ Today is Global Recycling Day ♻️

This year’s theme, “Don’t Think Waste. Think Opportunity!”, encourages us to see waste in a new way — not as something to throw away, but as a valuable resource. Recyclables are often called the “Seventh Resource,” because they play an important role in conserving natural materials, protecting the environment, and supporting economic growth.

Ascension Parish residents are doing their part to turn waste into opportunity. In 2025 alone, more than 18,000 vehicles visited our parish recycling centers, and together our community recycled over 422,000 pounds of materials and collected over 256,000 pounds of scrap metal. That’s a powerful example of how small actions add up to a big impact!

Our recycling efforts have also earned recognition — Ascension Parish has received the Keep Louisiana Beautiful Circle of Excellence Award for six consecutive years (2020–2025), highlighting our community’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

When we recycle, we’re not just reducing waste, we’re creating opportunity for a cleaner, stronger future.

Be sure to visit the Ascension Parish Recycling Centers in Gonzales and Donaldsonville, and be sure to check what is accepted before visiting the recycling centers!
