Two Citywide Cleanups
Two citywide cleanups a year continue to draw participation from students, civic groups, churches and citizens. Because of the success of KSB's efforts, 2/3 of the volunteers pick up litter and 1/3 work on beautification projects.
Parade Anti-Litter Program
"The success of parades should be measured by the smiles on our faces and not the amount of litter on our streets," Bill Mauser urges parade goers. Please place trash in one of the 520 vinyl trash containers along the city's four and a half mile parade route. Since using the trashcans, there has been a 70% reduction in litter on the streets. Krewes are reminded to use the extra trash containers at the beginning and end of the parades.
