Wow! Here are the results of Love the Boot week for all of Louisiana. Thanks Slidell for being in these numbers!!

Big thanks to Keep Louisiana Beautiful for providing a grant which enabled Keep Slidell Beautiful and the City of Slidell, Louisiana to install FOUR new trash receptacles in Olde Towne Slidell’s busy entertainment area!

These locations see a lot of foot traffic, especially on weekends and during events, and unfortunately, also see a large amount of litter. By adding more conveniently placed trash receptacles, we hope to make it easier for everyone to help keep Olde Towne clean, welcoming, and beautiful for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

This project is another great example of what partnerships and grant funding can do for our community. Special thanks to Keep Louisiana Beautiful for continuing to invest in local beautification and litter prevention efforts.

Remember: clean streets don’t happen by accident — they happen when a community works together. Please help us keep litter in its place!

Our April & May Keep Slidell Beautiful Salutes recipients are Salmen High School, Slidell High School, Pope John Paul High School, First Baptist Church, and Burger King on Gause. 👏👏👏
We salute you for keeping your property neat and litter-free!

NO RECYCLING TOMORROW.
We will see you all in June!

UPDATE: FOR THE SAFETY AND HEALTH OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, OUR MAY RECYCLING HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER.
Sorry for the inconvenience. We will see you all in June!

REMINDER: This Saturday is the second Saturday of the month! Make our volunteers smile and bring us your glass and cans! LOCATION: Public Operations Facility on Bayou Lane
