Keep Slidell Beautiful

Final count was 183 vehicles. Here are our volunteers with the car that broke our last record of 176! 😍🥰

We had 2 lines and a pretty constant flow, with an actual wait of 9 cars at one point! A super successful but very hot day.

If you’re over age 16 and would like to be a volunteer for this monthly event, please sign up on our website and we’ll be in contact with you. https://www.keepslidellbeautiful.org/volunteer
We can also sign your school’s service hour letter.

Only 35 minutes left for glass recycling! We’re at 162 cars and our dumpster is almost full!!

Glass Recycling update - we’re at 104 vehicles and we are pretty much nonstop. Come on out before noon and be in that number. 

Beginning in August, individuals who intentionally release balloons outdoors in Louisiana may face penalities under our anti-littering statutes.

Released balloons often end up as litter in our waterways, roads and communities, harming wildlife and creating unnecessary pollution. To celebrate milestones or honor loved ones, consider alternatives like blowing bubbles or flying colorful kites.

This law is an important step in our statewide fight against litter, including efforts like Love the Boot Week and the upcoming Love Our Waterways initiative.

Keep Louisiana Beautiful and I were proud to support Act 196, which was championed by Rep. John Illg, a KLB Foundation Board Member! We are so thankful for Rep. Illg for his leadership in authoring this bill and advancing it through the legislature, and for his passionate dedication to keeping our great state clean and safe.
