The City of
Thibodaux is pleased to be selected as one of the 47 recipients of the 2025- 26
Keep Louisiana Beautiful Trash Receptacle Grant Program made possible with
funding from the State of Louisiana and Office of the Lieutenant Governor.
The City of Thibodaux will install 5 trash receptacles at Captain Wayne
Daigle Memorial Park and Adley Landry Water Reservoir.
Through the
2025-26 Trash Receptacle Grant Program, Keep Louisiana Beautiful awarded 230
receptacles to 47 organizations in 31 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 of 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 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 the City of Thibodaux for being selected as a
2025-26 Trash Receptacle Grant recipient.”
