The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office has been awarded the 2025–2026 Keep Louisiana Beautiful Trash Receptacle Grant, aimed at reducing litter in communities across the parish.

The grant provides up to five trash receptacles for placement in outdoor public spaces. As part of the initiative, the Caddo Parish Commission accepted three of the awarded receptacles, which have been installed in high-traffic areas near the entrances of the Caddo Parish Courthouse and the Caddo Parish Juvenile Court.

Officials said the program is designed not only to reduce littering but also to measure the effectiveness of receptacle placement and increase public awareness through litter prevention signage.

Keep Louisiana Beautiful, a statewide program under the Office of the Lieutenant Governor and the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, leads efforts to promote cleaner communities through education, prevention, enforcement and sustainability initiatives.

The grant is funded by the State of Louisiana and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor and supports local governments, agencies and organizations in addressing litter and improving community environments.
