About Love the Boot Week: Love the Boot Week, April 5-13, 2025, 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. Last year, 19,441 individuals volunteered a total of 100,712 hours at 760 events in all 64 parishes, leading to the removal of 347 tons of litter. In addition to litter removal, volunteers focused on community beautification, planting 921 trees and 4,408 plants, and refurbishing 366 gardens. An even greater impact is expected in 2025. Love the Boot Week is organized by Keep Louisiana Beautiful with support from the Office of the Lt. Governor.
