E-Waste Recycle Day in Calcasieu Parish
Each year, Calcasieu Parish hosts a free E-Waste Recycle Day, giving residents a chance to properly dispose of old computers, TVs, phones, and other electronics that shouldn't go in the regular trash. Electronic waste can contain hazardous materials, so this annual event makes it easy to recycle it safely and for free.
