Shreveport issues each household a 96-gallon wheeled cart. Set it at the curb no more than ten feet from the street, out by 7 a.m. on collection day, and back off the right-of-way by 10 p.m.
The city provides one 96-gallon cart per residence; a second cart costs a one-time $50 lease fee, and no address may keep more than two. Carts stay city property and cannot leave the address they were delivered to. Carts may go out up to 24 hours early but must be curbside before 7 a.m. on collection day and pulled back off the right-of-way by 10 p.m. Excess waste goes beside the cart in 35-gallon containers or securely tied 1.5-millimeter bags weighing under 50 pounds. Residents with a certified physical disability receive back-door collection at no cost.
Code enforcement places a 24-hour correction sticker first. Uncorrected violations draw a misdemeanor citation of $500 for the first offense, $750 for the second and $1,000 for the third within twelve months.
