Residential collection customers served by the City of Baton Rouge / East Baton Rouge Parish Department of Environmental Services, paying the monthly solid waste collection fee.
Conditions and source
Out-of-cart bulk and yard waste is collected once a week, alongside twice-weekly garbage and weekly recycling.

Crews collect a maximum of 10 out-of-cart items per collection day, of which up to three may be bulk waste or bulky recyclables; the rest are taken on the next service day. Material must be out by 4 a.m. on the collection day, and branches may not exceed 5 feet in length, 6 inches in diameter or 40 pounds per item.
