Love the Boot Week is April 18-26, 2026!

Love the Boot Week is Louisiana’s largest litter removal and beautification effort, bringing awareness to our state’s litter problem while empowering organizations and individual citizens to clean up litter and beautify spaces in their communities. This year, we are cleaning up in honor of America’s 250th birthday! Show your love for your country and your community by participating. In 2025, 26,935 individuals volunteered a total of 81,852 hours at over 1,408 events, removing a record 514 tons of litter in all 64 parishes. Let’s surpass last year’s numbers and grow our impact statewide. Registration opens January 12.
