Defining litter, identifying the causes, and reducing it by organizing cleanups, and promoting proper handling of discarded waste in our communities. We love to get people passionate about combating litter in our community.
We get excited about the 3 R's:
Recycle: Turning something old into something new and useful.
Reuse: Repurpose items or materials.
Reduce: Find ways to reduce energy in and around the home and find ways to reduce waste.
KBB works to improve the visual aspects of our communities by planting trees, and gardens throughout the parish, encourage neighborhoods to beautify and maintain their exteriors and highway and shoreline beautification.
Calling all Bossier Parish residents!
We are partnering with Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office for the annual Operation Clean Sweep April 17th and we need YOUR help.
Neighborhood watch groups, businesses, churches, clubs, organizations, school groups. Any, and all individuals who want to see and be the change in our cities.
We need YOU!
In the past, one large group was divided and assigned designated areas throughout Bossier Parish to pick up litter.
This year, we need to expand! And here's how:
Clean streets and neighborhoods has been proven to decrease crime. Curb appeal isn't just about looks, it also keeps our community safer.

On February 28th, KBB members and liaisons performed a random, statistical sample survey of our parish to determine the Bossier Parish litter index for 2020.
Sad to say the teams did find litter and debris, happy to say we are working on a trash attack plan.
Stay tuned for the results and ways you can help with spot cleanups in your area.
