Shreveport and Bossier Trash Pickup Schedule Shifts This Week 

If your can is sitting at the curb in Shreveport or Bossier City, you are not alone. Winter weather disruptions have both cities adjusting trash pickup plans, and the next few days will look a little different depending on which side of the river you live on. 

Bossier City: Late Start Wednesday, Saturday Makeup Runs 

Bossier City will restart collections with a delayed start time of 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, January 28 for customers who normally have Wednesday service. 

Here is how the rest of the week is expected to shake out in Bossier: 

• Thursday, January 29: normal routes 
• Friday, January 30: normal routes 
• Saturday, January 31: makeup day for missed Monday and Tuesday pickups from earlier in the week

Shreveport: No Pickup Until Thursday, Regular Thu-Fri Routes 

In Shreveport, the city’s Public Works calendar lists no garbage collection Monday through Wednesday (January 26 to January 28) because of weather closures. Crews are scheduled to resume Thursday. 

The city’s posted schedule keeps the rest of the week straightforward: 

• Thursday, January 29: Thursday customers picked up on Thursday 
• Friday, January 30: Friday customers picked up on Friday 

For neighborhoods that typically run Monday through Wednesday, the pause ends after Wednesday’s closure, so residents should plan on their normal pickup day returning next week, starting Monday, February 2.

Quick Tips So You Do Not Miss the Truck 

Set carts out the night before when possible, keep them clear of parked cars, and bag loose trash so wind does not turn your street into a cleanup project. If your pickup day shifts, leave the cart accessible until it is collected.
