The City of Thibodaux 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 the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. The City of Thibodaux has installed 5
trash receptacles at Eric Andolsek Park, Eagle Park, and Midland Park.
Through the 2024-25 Trash Receptacle Grant Program,
Keep Louisiana Beautiful awarded 285 receptacles to 60 organizations in 37 parishes.
As part of the requirements of this grant, the
City of Thibodaux 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.
“Litter is hurting our quality of life in Thibodaux,”
says Kevin Clement, Mayor for the City of Thibodaux. “With these new
receptacles installed, we will be able to reduce litter and keep our community
clean and beautiful.”
“Recent data collected by
Keep Louisiana Beautiful shows a reduction of litter by 56 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 the City of
Thibodaux for being selected as a 2024-25 Trash Receptacle Grant recipient.”
