Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser and the Louisiana Office of State Parks has announced the launch of the Let Louisiana Shine Park Recycling Program, a new recycling pilot project for aluminum cans and plastic bottles at four state parks: Bogue Chitto, Fairview Riverside, Fontainebleau, and Tickfaw State Parks.
This recycling pilot project is made possible through a grant from the Louisiana Beverage Association in coordination with the Pontchartrain Conservancy and the Osprey Initiative.
Materials will be collected, sorted, trash contamination removed, and collection totals recorded on a bi-weekly basis. Data collected over the course of the pilot project will be used to develop best practices and determine how to scale up the program in order to expand into other state parks.
Beverage bottles and cans are designed to be 100% recyclable.
