Over 700 Businesses Partnering with Clean Biz Program

Keep Louisiana Beautiful’s (KLB) Clean Biz Partnership has grown to 710 participating businesses in 49 parishes and 40 chambers of commerce in 30 parishes. Businesses that are part of the Clean Biz Partnership are committed to keeping their properties well-maintained and litter-free. “Litter is bad for business, and it hurts our state’s economy,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “KLB’s 2023 Louisiana Litter Study found that we spend $91.4 million on litter abatement each year. If people didn’t litter, we could use this taxpayer money for other important causes. I challenge every business in Louisiana to join the Clean Biz Partnership and help lead the way to a cleaner Louisiana.” “Addressing the litter problem in Louisiana is a responsibility we all must share, including our state’s businesses,” said Susan Russell, KLB Executive Director. “92% of Louisiana citizens believe litter is a problem, so it’s time we do something about it. We must take pride and keep the places where we live and work clean and beautiful. In doing so, we will experience an improved environment and quality of life.” Businesses of all sizes can join the Clean Biz Partnership for free. By joining, businesses commit to adopting daily best practices for reducing and preventing litter such as cleaning parking bays, placing trash receptacles at storefronts, and maintaining a clean dumpster area. KLB offers Clean Biz Partners educational opportunities such as workshops and webinars. Partners also receive marketing benefits, including signage, social media graphics, and window clings. Many partners will participate in Louisiana’s largest litter cleanup and beautification event, Love the Boot Week, April 5-13. The parishes with the greatest number of Clean Biz Partners are Ouachita Parish, East Baton Rouge Parish, and St. Landry Parish. Businesses and chambers of commerce are listed by parish on the Clean Biz Partnership webpage. Businesses and chambers can learn more and join for free on this webpage. The Clean Biz Partnership was developed in collaboration with the Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Executives (LACCE). About Keep Louisiana Beautiful Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB) is a state program under the Office of the Lieutenant Governor and the Department of Culture, Recreation, & Tourism promoting personal, corporate, and community responsibility for a clean and beautiful Louisiana. KLB supports local communities through programs and resources for litter education, prevention, removal, enforcement, beautification, recycling, waste reduction, and sustainability initiatives. KLB is affiliated with the national organization, Keep America Beautiful, and is supported by a robust statewide network of Community Affiliates and University Affiliates.
