The Leaders Against Litter Award recognizes individuals in public service who go above and beyond the call of duty to support Keep Louisiana Beautiful’s mission to clean up and beautify our Sportsman’s Paradise. The recipient of this award inspires and empowers others to follow their lead and work towards achieving a cleaner, greener Louisiana. To be eligible, an individual must work in public service: police officer, firefighter, educator, librarian, government employee, elected official, etc.
Livingston Parish President Randy Delatte has made litter reduction a cornerstone of his administration, recognizing that “a cleaner parish is a stronger parish.” One of his first actions in office was to hire a Litter Abatement Director to lead parish-wide cleanup and prevention efforts. Creating a position designated entirely to litter abatement showed that a clean community was top priority to President Delatte. Since then, his administration has launched their Free Dump Day, which drew over 900 vehicles in its inaugural event, and established quarterly Free Tire Recycling events that have removed more than 1,200 waste tires from the environment. By investing in community engagement, collaborating with local and state partners, and prioritizing sustainability alongside infrastructure and drainage, President Delatte is leading Livingston Parish toward a cleaner, healthier future.
