Trash is a problem in our parish—but a preventable one

Even though not everyone litters, everyone has to pay the consequences. 

  • For example Louisiana spends about $40 million in taxpayer dollars each year on litter removal, abatement, education, and enforcement.    
  • It costs $11.5 billion annually to clean up trash in the U.S. 
  •  93% of homeowners say a littered neighborhood would decrease their assessment of a home’s value and influence their decision to purchase a property.    

  •  32% of litter at storm drains and drainage areas are tobacco products, making it worse when it floods.
  • 36% of business development officials say that litter impacts a decision to locate to a community.
  • The presence of litter in a community decreases property values by nearly 10%.

KWBRB has made it easier than ever to get involved, report littering, and share information with others. Everything you need to make a difference can be found on this website. If you have a question or need help? Call us at (225) 490-8549.
