Parish President Robby Miller is excited to announce that Tangipahoa Parish has been awarded a Trash Receptacle Grant from Keep Louisiana Beautiful.
The grant will be used to place 10 new trash receptacles in high-traffic public spaces. The goal is to significantly reduce litter in these areas.
Tangipahoa Parish has partnered with the Chappapeela Sports Park/Hammond Recreation District and the Town of Independence to ensure the optimal placement of these receptacles for maximum impact.
“We are sincerely grateful for this grant from Keep Louisiana Beautiful to help us continue in our quest to reduce and hopefully eliminate litter in our parish,” Miller said.
