The Village of Turkey Creek is pleased to be selected as one of the
98 recipients of the 2023 Keep Louisiana Beautiful trash receptacle grant program made
possible with funding from the State of Louisiana and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor.
Village of Turkey Creek will install 8 trash receptacles at Drouet Park and 2 trash receptacles at
the Turkey Creek Civic Center.
Through the 2023 trash receptacle grant program, Keep Louisiana Beautiful distributed 879
receptacles to 98 organizations in 40 Louisiana parishes.
As part of the requirements of this grant, Village of Turkey Creek will perform a post installation
litter scan and compare the data collected to preliminary scan results. Data will be shared with
the public once available.
“Litter is hurting our quality of life in Turkey Creek,” says Bert K. Campbell, Mayor of Turkey
Creek. “With these new receptacles installed, we will be able to reduce litter and keep our
community clean and beautiful.”
“Recent data collected by Keep Louisiana Beautiful shows a reduction of litter by 56 percent in
areas where trash receptacles are properly installed and maintained,” says Susan Russell, KLB
Executive Director. “One of our organization’s key initiatives is to help build infrastructure that
supports clean, beautiful communities. Funding trash receptacles is one way we do that.
Congratulations to the Village of Turkey Creek for being selected as a 2023 grant recipient.”
