Love the Boot Week, April 18-26, 2026, is Louisiana’s largest litter removal and beautification event, bringing awareness to the state’s litter problem while empowering organizations and individual citizens to clean up and beautify their communities. This year, we are cleaning up in honor of America’s 250th birthday!

Keep Louisiana Beautiful and Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser ask you to show your love for your country and your community by participating.

During Love the Boot Week 2025, 26,935 individuals volunteered a total of 81,852 hours at 1,408 events in all 64 parishes, leading to the removal of 514 tons of litter. Diverted from the landfill and recycled were 16,503 aluminum cans and plastic bottles. In addition to litter removal, volunteers focused on community beautification, planting 1,204 trees and 3,672 plants, and refurbishing 477 gardens. An even greater impact is expected in 2026.

“We’re excited to partner with Keep Louisiana Beautiful and participate in #LoveTheBoot Week,” said Sarah Overall, Director Economic Development & Minden Main Street.

The City of Minden will be hosting a community litter cleanup and beautification effort across Minden, Louisiana from April 18–26, 2026.

“We encourage businesses, schools, nonprofits, churches, civic groups, and neighborhoods to form a team and join us in helping keep Minden clean and beautiful,” Overall added. “Only together can we keep Louisiana beautiful! This year, we are cleaning up in honor of America’s 250th birthday, and we invite our community to show their love for our country and for Minden by helping make a difference.”
