AMITE — Tangipahoa Parish Government is pleased to be selected as one of the 60 recipients of the 2024-25 Keep Louisiana Beautiful Trash Receptacle Grant Program made possible with funding from the State of Louisiana and Office of the Lieutenant Governor. Tangipahoa Parish Government will install 5 trash receptacles at the Florida Parishes Arena.
Through the 2024 Trash Receptacle Grant Program, Keep Louisiana Beautiful awarded 285 receptacles to 60 organizations in 37 parishes.
As part of the requirements of this grant, Tangipahoa Parish Government will perform a post installation litter scan and compare the data collected to preliminary scan results. Data will be shared with the public once available.
“The Florida Parishes Arena is a hub for community events, and keeping it clean is a top priority,” says Robby Miller, Parish President of Tangipahoa Parish Government. “These new receptacles will help us better manage waste, reduce litter, and ensure a welcoming environment for all who visit.”
“Recent data collected by Keep Louisiana Beautiful shows a reduction of litter by 78 percent in areas where trash receptacles are properly installed and maintained,” says Susan Russell, KLB Executive Director. “One of our organization’s key initiatives is to help build infrastructure that supports clean, beautiful communities. Funding trash receptacles is one way we do that. Congratulations to Tangipahoa Parish Government for being selected as a 2024-25 Trash Receptacle Grant recipient.”
