Recycle your glass & metal in St. Tammany Parish.
Sign up for curbside residential glass and metal recycling here in St. Tammany. Lemon Tree is owned and operated by Lacy (mom) and Andy (son) Ellzey. We have been in operations since 2020. As of 2026 we are expanding our services to include the Lemon Tree Donation Drive. When you subscribe to our recycling services, you can chose to participate in a monthly charity drive. We will drive to your house on recycling pickup day and collect your recycling and any donated goods. We bring the items to a local St. Tammany non-profit/charity. Scroll to the end of the page to see this year’s donation drive calendar.
We will be updating this page every couple of months with recycling statistics for the year.
For the year so far (Jan. & Feb.) we have collected a total of 13,338 lbs of glass and metal from 339 houses. That averages out to 20 lbs per household per month. At this rate we would collect a total of 83,298 lbs for the year of 2026.
