April showers bring May flowers, but they also bring more storm water runoff. It’s important to keep our drains clean—remember, only rain belongs in the drain! As you tidy up your yard this spring, be sure to dispose of leaves, yard waste, and debris properly, not in storm drains.
The City of Zachary encourages residents to participate in Storm Water Prevention Awareness Days on Monday, April 7th, and Tuesday, April 8th, during your regular Bulky Waste Pickup Day. Please pre-bag green waste like leaves, flowers, stalks, stems, and tree trimmings, then place them by the road for Waste Depot pickup.
Bulky Waste Collection runs from 6 AM to 8 PM. Not sure of your pickup day?
North of Main Street/Hwy. 64:1st & 3rd Mondays
South of Main Street/Hwy. 64:1st & 3rd Tuesdays
Remember, please avoid blowing or sweeping grass clippings into storm drains also. Let’s keep our drains clear and our city clean!

The City of Zachary has been awarded a $10,000 Beautification Grant to support a tree-planting initiative aimed at enhancing public spaces. As part of this project, a highly visible section of Mt. Pleasant Road was selected for beautification. Recently, thirty-two 12-foot Natchez white crape myrtles—a Louisiana native species—were planted in the medians, adding greenery and charm to the area.
This grant was made possible through funding from the State of Louisiana and the Office of Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “We sincerely thank Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser for choosing Zachary for this beautification initiative,” said Mayor David McDavid. Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB) Executive Director Susan Russell added, “Through these grants, Keep Louisiana Beautiful empowers local communities to take pride in their surroundings, working together to protect and enhance our Sportsman’s Paradise.”
On planting day, Attilio Romero, a fourth grader at Zachary Elementary and recipient of the ZEPTCO (Zachary Elementary Parent-Teacher Organization) Councilmember of the Day fundraiser, participated in the event. Attilio had the opportunity to shadow Councilwoman Ambre DeVirgilio and assist in planting the trees. Mayor McDavid and several community members also took part, ensuring the project’s success. While planting, Attilio and Mayor McDavid collected litter from the medians, reinforcing the importance of keeping Zachary clean and beautiful.
“Teaching children the value of volunteering at a young age is essential to our future,” said Mayor McDavid. “Keep Louisiana Beautiful mentors youth and citizens alike through programs such as Love the Boot Week, where individuals and groups statewide demonstrate their commitment to cleaner, healthier communities.”
Save the date! Zachary’s Love the Boot Cleanup Event is scheduled for April 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. This year, efforts will focus on cleaning up the Avenues area of Zachary. Stay tuned for updates on Facebook, and we encourage everyone to volunteer a few hours to help beautify our city!
