The Recycling Foundation

The Recycling Foundation has been providing recycling services in south Louisiana since the early 1990's. We are a full service commercial and residential recycler. The Recycling Foundation currently holds the curbside recycling contracts for East Baton Rouge Parish, the City of Lafayette, the City of Zachary, the City of Youngsville, and the City of Carencro, Louisiana. We also service more than 500 businesses in those areas.

Our primary goal at The Recycling Foundation is to maximize recycling in all of the communities where we are involved. We are not a solid waste contractor, but specialize specifically in recycling. In 2005 The Recycling Foundation introduced single stream recycling into its servcice communities. Single stream recycling is the future of curbside recycling and has been extremely successful. To date the East Baton Rouge and Lafayette communities have experienced over a 35% increase in tonnage collected from the curb. We are excited about these results and look forward to increasing them inthe future.

At The Recycling Foundation we implement the latest in sorting technology to recover the maximun amount of recyclables from the materials that we collect at the curb. Our single stream Materials Recovery Facility was the first built in the state of Louisiana. We look forward to staying at the forefront of sorting technology to provide our customers with the easiest and most efficient recycling programs in the country.

The Cheatham family who owns and operates The Recycling Foundation feel extremely blessed that God has allowed us the opportunity to be involved in so many wonderful communities. We pledge to provide the best possible service to each of those communities and are excited about the future of recycling in Louisiana.
