Phoenix Recycling

Phoenix Recycling is a recycling service company in New Orleans, Louisiana. The company was founded in 1991 as a curbside recycling service and continued as such until the city-wide curbside recycling program started.^[specify] Once New Orleans started the program, Phoenix Recycling continued servicing commercial accounts. Since Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans has lacked residential curbside recycling service or even a reliable and consistent location for individuals to take all of their own material.

Weighing the right way

Phoenix Recycling is offering a subscription service to answer the needs of those of us who want to recycle a portion of our household waste. For a fee of $15 per month, the company will pick up the following material from your home every other week: plastic containers with # 1 through # 7 in the recycling triangle, all colors of glass containers, metal containers (aluminum and bi-metal), newspaper, corrugated cardboard and mixed paper (normal office printer paper, junk mail, magazines, catalogs and packaging like cereal boxes). There is a $1 discount available to members of a neighborhood association.

Service resumed for all of Jefferson and Orleans Parishes in August, 2007. St Tammany Parish will begin in early 2008.
