The City of Thibodaux is pleased to be selected as one of the 71 recipients of the 2023-24 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 10 trash receptacles at Eric Andolsek Park, Norman Swanner Dog Park, Edwin H. Chiasson, Sr. Memorial Park, and Captain Wayne Daigle Memorial Park.
Through the 2023-24 Trash Receptacle Grant Program, Keep Louisiana Beautiful awarded 628 receptacles to 71 organizations in 40 parishes for a total value of $491,294.
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 2023-24 Trash Receptacle Grant recipient.”
