City of Central

Love the Boot Week is coming up on April 20-28.... This week isn't just about picking up litter. It's about drawing attention to our state's litter problem and promoting litter prevention. Did you know that Keep Louisiana Beautiful, with the support of the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, published the Louisiana Litter Study last year? As part of this study, the annual cost of litter abatement, roadside litter assessment statistics, and data on the public perception of litter were examined. The study found that Louisiana roadways have approximately 143.8 million pieces of litter, with interstates being the most littered type of roadway, with an average of 10,178 pieces of litter per mile. This is an alarming figure that highlights the need for all of us to take action to keep our state clean. So, this Love the Boot Week, let's spread the message of #Knowthefacts and encourage everyone to join us in keeping Louisiana beautiful. Register now or sign up to volunteer at lovetheboot.org!
