Household Hazardous Waste Day



Held twice each year, LCG's Household Hazardous Waste Day (HHWD) allows residents a way to properly dispose of household chemicals and electronics. HHWD is a service available at no additional cost to those living within the City of Lafayette or unincorporated areas of the parish. Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this event to responsibly dispose of hazardous materials.
