For many, the beginning of March seems marks the unofficial
start of the spring season.
For Ouachita Green and its partners, March 1 begins a
three-month period known as the Great American Cleanup.
During the Great American Cleanup, volunteers are called to
action to clean all areas of Ouachita Parish. A parish wide cleanup will
be held on Saturday, March 19. Various staging sites will be established
around the parish allowing volunteers to register and providing them with
cleanup supplies.
The community cleanup provides the public an opportunity to
play an active role in the beautification of our parish. The appearance
of our community is the first impression many investors and developers have of
this area. The presence of litter is an indicator of more significant problems
such as crime, neglect and a community that cares.
In an effort to combat litter and empower local residents,
Ouachita Green has established a new litter hotline that is available day and
night and on weekends. The Litter Hotline number is 318-460-0LTR (Zero
Litter). Residents are encouraged to use this number when they see
littering or illegal dumpsites.
Ouachita Green encourages the public to take action this
spring against litter and help be an "everyday hero" when it comes to
keeping our home clean and litter free.
