Spring is finally here in Louisiana. It is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy our local waterways, parks, and green spaces. However, as we spend more time outdoors, we also notice the litter and illegal dumping that hurts our community.
This April, we have a massive opportunity to fix that.
Atlas Electronics Recycling is thrilled to participate in Love the Boot Week. This is Louisiana's largest statewide cleanup effort, and there are many ways for you to get involved right here in Livingston Parish.
Free Dumpster Day (April 18th)
To make cleaning up as easy as possible, Atlas Electronics Recycling is proud to be one of the corporate sponsors for the Free Dumpster Event Day on April 18th hosted by the Livingston Parish Government.
This is your chance to clear out your house, garage, and storage unit for free. Here is what you need to know for the April 18th drop-off:
What you CAN bring: Old electronics, furniture, appliances, and tires (limit of 5 tires per person, no rims).
What is NOT allowed: Business debris, construction materials, fencing, and regular household garbage.
Requirement: You must bring a valid Louisiana ID to participate.

Get Involved: Volunteer in Your Community
The Free Dumpster Event Day is just one part of Love the Boot Week. Throughout the week, there are numerous other cleanup events happening across the parish.
These community groups need volunteers to help pick up litter and restore our local green spaces. We highly encourage you to find a local cleanup crew and donate a few hours of your time. It is a fantastic way to meet your neighbors and make a highly visible difference in our hometown!

4. Milton Rd Cleanup with Atlas Electronics Recycling
4/19 10:00 AM - 30716 - 30674 Milton Rd, Walker, LA 70785
We'll be sponsoring a cleanup event on Milton Rd to collect litter, dumped items, and other debris along the roadside heading south. We've received permission from Charles Milton (a descendant of the person who originally built the road) and his wife to use the end of his driveway for parking and coordination.
I'll be bringing supplies such as trash bags, gloves, and a trailer to haul the trash away. I don't have very many grabber arms for the trash, though, so if people could bring their own, that would be great. We'll do some BBQ afterwards to feed the volunteers! Please RSVP so we can bring enough for everyone!

Let’s Work Together to Keep Louisiana Clean
Love the Boot Week is all about community, and we want to help your local efforts succeed. Here is how we can work together this spring:
Feature Your Event: Are you hosting your own Love the Boot clean-up? Let us know! Reach out to us, and we will gladly highlight your event right here on our blog to help you gather more volunteers.
Partner With Us: If you are looking to bring an electronics recycling drop-off directly to your community or municipality, we would love to collaborate. We are always looking for new partners to make recycling safe, easy, and cost-free for local residents.
Clear Out Your Business: If your office, school, or warehouse has old computers and tech taking up valuable space, we can still help outside of the free dumpster event day. We offer direct commercial services to clear out your clutter, while remaining cost-free.
Learn More: Visit our amazing partners at Keep Livingston Beautiful and Keep Louisiana Beautiful to learn more about their programs and how you can get involved!
