From the City of Shreveport: The City of Shreveport, in partnership with Shreveport Green, will lead the effort in a citywide clean up scheduled Saturday, August 24, 2019. This project supports Mayor Adrian Perkins’ #loveshreveport campaign.

“If we love the city we call home, then we should keep it clean,” said Mayor Perkins. “This cleanup day will be the first of many where we come together as a community to clean up our city.”

Individuals or groups willing to volunteer should sign up at www.shreveportgreen.org or call (318) 219-1888, ext. 16. Supplies will be handed out from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, August 22 and Friday, August 23 at Shreveport Green, located at 3625 Southern Avenue. Volunteers will clean up on Saturday, August 24 from 8 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. and begin gathering at 11 a.m. at the State Fairgrounds near the baseball stadium for prizes, food, fun, and music.

Homeowners, businesses, schools, and organizations are encouraged to take part in this day to clean and beautify the area in which they live, work, and play. City departments will be collecting bulk items and trash collected at previously determined locations.

“We are thrilled that Mayor Perkins realizes the importance of a clean city and is taking the lead in making this a reality,” said Donna Curtis, executive director of Shreveport Green. “Our citizens have always responded overwhelmingly to volunteer projects and we are proud to be a part of this exciting effort.”
