Hazardous waste disposal in Kenner, LA
Kenner is shaped by airport, logistics and commercial premises, and what that means for waste is decided by what those processes generate and by the Louisiana program the site operates under — not by the city line on a map.
Served as part of New Orleans
A generator in Kenner is collected on the same routing as the wider New Orleans area rather than as a separate territory, which is worth saying plainly because it is what actually decides scheduling and price. It also means the practical answer to most questions here is the same as it is a few miles away.
The rule in Louisiana
Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ)
Waste generated in Kenner is regulated by LDEQ, which administers the authorized hazardous waste program for Louisiana over the federal baseline. What that adds for a Kenner site, and where Louisiana differs from the state next door, is set out on the state page.
Who answers, and what that means
Kenner sits in the same region as the Mobile, AL office, which is the shortest answer Greer can give anywhere — someone can be on site in Kenner to look at a container nobody can identify without that being a special arrangement.

Asked from Kenner
The four things generators around Kenner, LA ask before anything else, answered from the rules rather than from a brochure.
Greer collects in Kenner, LA, dispatched from the Mobile, AL office on its own permits and its own equipment. There is no facility in Kenner, LA itself — Greer runs two offices, and Louisiana is covered from one of them rather than from a depot in every city that has a page.
Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) administers the authorized hazardous waste program for Louisiana, over the federal baseline rather than instead of it. So a waste generated in Kenner is classified the same way it would be anywhere in the country, and the requirements around storing, moving and reporting it are Louisiana's.
An unidentified container in Kenner, LA is a smaller problem this week than it is next year, so the first thing is to leave it alone: do not move it, and do not open it if anything has crystallized around the cap. Tell the Mobile, AL office where on the Kenner, LA site it came from and what the process beside it does, and identification is arranged before collection rather than after.
No — for a site in Kenner, LA, describing the process that makes the waste and roughly how much of it there is gets you a price. A Certified Hazardous Materials Manager profiles it from that, which is the work you are buying, and guessing a code yourself only transfers the liability for it back to you, in Louisiana exactly as anywhere else.
Elsewhere in Louisiana
Collection across Louisiana is not limited to the places with their own page. These are simply the ones near Kenner, LA with enough demand to be worth writing about.
