           Keep Louisiana Clean Tire Recovery & Environmental Beautification Initiative

NAICS Code 562910 – Remediation Services

Keep Louisiana Clean proposes a statewide environmental cleanup and beautification initiative focused on illegal tire removal, environmental restoration, litter reduction, and community improvement throughout Louisiana. Operating under NAICS Code 562910 – Remediation Services, the program will address the growing environmental and public health concerns caused by illegally dumped tires and neglected public spaces.

Illegal tire dumping has become a major issue across Louisiana, affecting neighborhoods, roadways, drainage systems, vacant lots, waterways, and rural communities. Waste tires create mosquito breeding grounds, increase fire hazards, clog drainage systems, reduce property values, and negatively impact the appearance and safety of communities. Improperly discarded tires can also release harmful pollutants into the environment and damage local ecosystems.

The Keep Louisiana Clean initiative will provide organized tire collection and removal services, roadside and vacant lot cleanup, drainage and canal cleanup, litter removal, and community beautification projects. The program will focus heavily on underserved and environmentally impacted communities where illegal dumping and environmental neglect are most severe.

In addition to tire removal operations, Keep Louisiana Clean will organize volunteer cleanup events, neighborhood beautification campaigns, and environmental awareness programs designed to increase community involvement and encourage environmental responsibility. Educational outreach efforts will help residents understand proper tire disposal practices, recycling opportunities, and the importance of maintaining clean public spaces.

Collected tires will be transported to approved recycling or disposal facilities to support environmentally responsible waste management practices and reduce landfill waste. The initiative will partner with local governments, environmental agencies, schools, community organizations, and recycling facilities to maximize environmental impact and improve statewide coordination.

The program will also create employment opportunities involving environmental cleanup crews, equipment operators, logistics support, and community outreach personnel. Keep Louisiana Clean aims to support workforce development while improving Louisiana’s environmental conditions and community appearance.

The long-term goal of the initiative is to reduce illegal dumping, improve public health and safety, beautify communities, and promote environmental stewardship throughout Louisiana. Through organized cleanup efforts, strategic partnerships, and public engagement, Keep Louisiana Clean seeks to create cleaner, safer, and more attractive communities while preserving Louisiana’s environmental resources for future generations.

What is the entity's public purpose, sought to be achieved through the use of state monies?
          Keep Louisiana Clean seeks to improve the environmental health, safety, and appearance of communities throughout Louisiana through organized tire removal, illegal dumping cleanup, and community beautification efforts. The public purpose of this initiative is to reduce environmental hazards, improve public spaces, protect waterways and drainage systems, and promote cleaner and safer neighborhoods for Louisiana residents.

State funding will support the removal and proper disposal of illegally dumped tires located along highways, vacant lots, drainage canals, neighborhoods, and public areas across Louisiana. Waste tires create significant public health and environmental concerns by attracting rodents and mosquitoes, increasing fire hazards, clogging drainage systems, and contributing to pollution and community blight. The accumulation of illegally dumped tires also negatively impacts property values, economic development, tourism, and overall quality of life within communities.

Keep Louisiana Clean will utilize state funding to organize cleanup operations, support environmental restoration activities, purchase cleanup equipment and supplies, and coordinate community beautification projects in underserved and environmentally impacted areas. The initiative will focus on restoring highly visible public spaces while reducing environmental risks that threaten the health and safety of residents.

The project will also promote environmental stewardship and public awareness through volunteer cleanup events, educational outreach campaigns, and partnerships with local governments, schools, businesses, and community organizations. These efforts are intended to encourage community involvement and long-term environmental responsibility throughout Louisiana.

In addition to environmental benefits, the initiative will create workforce and volunteer opportunities involving cleanup crews, equipment operators, environmental support personnel, and community outreach staff. Funding will help support the operational capacity needed to sustain cleanup efforts and expand services into additional communities across the state.

The overall public purpose of Keep Louisiana Clean is to create cleaner, healthier, and more attractive communities while improving environmental conditions, reducing illegal dumping, supporting public health, and enhancing community pride throughout Louisiana.

What are the goals and objectives for achieving such purpose?
          Keep Louisiana Clean’s primary goal is to improve the environmental quality, safety, and appearance of communities throughout Louisiana through organized tire removal, illegal dumping cleanup, and community beautification efforts. The organization seeks to reduce environmental hazards while promoting cleaner public spaces, environmental responsibility, and community pride.

The objectives for achieving this purpose include:

1. Remove illegally dumped tires from neighborhoods, roadways, drainage canals, vacant lots, parks, and other public areas throughout Louisiana to reduce environmental hazards and improve community appearance.
2. Reduce public health risks associated with waste tire accumulation, including mosquito breeding, pest infestation, fire hazards, and blocked drainage systems that contribute to flooding and environmental contamination.
3. Conduct environmental cleanup and beautification projects in underserved and environmentally impacted communities to restore public spaces and improve quality of life for residents.
4. Promote proper tire disposal and environmental stewardship through public education campaigns, volunteer cleanup events, and community outreach initiatives designed to discourage illegal dumping and encourage community involvement.
5. Partner with local governments, environmental agencies, schools, businesses, and community organizations to coordinate cleanup operations and expand statewide environmental improvement efforts.
6. Support environmentally responsible recycling and disposal practices by transporting collected tires to approved recycling and waste management facilities.
7. Create employment and volunteer opportunities through cleanup operations, beautification projects, and environmental outreach activities that support workforce participation and community engagement.
8. Improve Louisiana’s environmental appearance, strengthen community pride, and support safer and healthier neighborhoods through long-term environmental restoration and beautification efforts.
