Keep Louisiana Beautiful Awards 47 Organizations in 31 Parishes 230 Trash Receptacles to Reduce Litter in Public Spaces
BATON ROUGE, La. – Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB) and Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser are pleased to award 230 trash receptacles to 47 organizations in 31 parishes.
“Every cleaner park, trail, and main street in Louisiana starts with simple choices – like putting trash and recyclables where they belong,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “Since 2022, we’ve awarded more than 2,000 receptacles in communities across the state, and we’re seeing real progress. These grants help reduce litter at the source, support local recycling efforts, and move us closer to the clean, beautiful Louisiana our people expect and deserve.”
“According to litter scans, KLB found a reduction of litter by 78% in areas where trash receptacles were properly installed and maintained,” said Susan Russell, KLB Executive Director. “It’s important to make available trash receptacles in public spaces to give people a way to do the right thing with their trash.”
The KLB trash receptacle grant program is available to Louisiana parishes, municipalities, recreation districts, and state agencies. Eligible applicants may request to receive up to five high-quality trash receptacles to be installed in outdoor public spaces owned by the applying government entity.
Recipients of the trash receptacles will perform post-installation litter assessments to compare to their pre-install assessment data. This data will be made available to the public once complete.
