How many times have you decided to clean out your storage only to realize that many of your items won’t fit into your trash can? The Police Jury has your solution with our new Residential Solid Waste Convenience Centers.
Located on the eastern and western portions of the parish, Calcasieu residents can take their solid waste that is normally too large to place in residential bins to one of two parish drop-off facilities. The Convenience Centers are open to all parish residents with a valid driver’s license. There is no additional cost for this service.

The Calcasieu Parish Animal Service’s Adoption Center is filled with many loving animals looking for a new home. When you adopt from our facility, your new pet will be micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, and vaccinated. We also provide a registered license tag to place on their collar. When you adopt a dog or cat from us you get more than a new companion, you’re also saving a life!
adoption hours are Monday through Friday, 12pm - 5:30pm. if you have any questions, please give us a call at 721-3730.
animal shelters across the country, both public and private, are faced with an incredible burden: approximately 3.7 million animals are euthanized at shelters each year, due to the overpopulation of dogs and cats. having your pet spayed or neutered ensures that you will not be adding to this serious problem.
