2023 Holiday Trash Pick-Up Schedule for Lafayette, Louisiana

Trash cans across Acadiana will be overflowing after Santa Claus passes on Christmas Eve night and no doubt you'll be anxious to see your garbage cans emptied soon after that.

But for a lot of people in Lafayette Parish, you'll have to wait a day later than your normal trash pick-up day.

Trash and Compost Holiday Schedule

If you have your trash picked up by Acadiana Waste Services (AWS), their trucks will not run on Christmas or New Year's Day. Therefore, collection dates will be pushed back a day for all residents.

Crews will pick up excess holiday waste as long as it's bagged and placed neatly by your cart. Christmas trees may also be placed at the curb on your regular collection date to be picked up.

Furthermore, the Compost Facility on Dugas Road in Lafayette will close at 11:00 am on Friday, December 22, and will reopen on Tuesday, December 26. It will close again on Saturday, December 30 through Monday, January 1, and will reopen on Tuesday, January 2.
