Parish officials are preparing for the annual Operation Clean Sweep event, a parish-wide initiative aimed at removing litter and debris from communities across Bossier Parish.
On March 27, Jurors Tom Salzer (District 11), Julianna Parks (District 5), and Chris Marsiglia (District 6) joined other officials on West Viking Drive to announce this year’s cleanup, which is set to take place Saturday, April 18.
The event will begin at 8:00 a.m., with participants asked to meet at the Viking Drive Substation.
Operation Clean Sweep brings together volunteers, the Bossier Parish Police Jury, Keep Bossier Beautiful, and the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office each year to improve the appearance of roadways and public spaces throughout the parish.
The effort has historically included the use of parish equipment, such as a grappling truck, to assist with collecting large discarded items, including appliances brought by residents to designated locations like the Airline High School parking lot.
Following the announcement, jurors and parish officials were presented with litter pickers and collection bags to mark the upcoming event.
