Block by Block: Shreveport Green Is Cleaning Up the City—And You’re Invited

Feb 19

It’s that time again, Shreveport.

Gloves on. Vests bright. Grabbers ready.

Shreveport Green, alongside Mayor Tom Arceneaux and community partners, is rolling up its sleeves and inviting the entire city to help clean up Shreveport—block by block.

And if the photos tell us anything, it’s this: this isn’t just a cleanup. It’s a movement.

More Than Picking Up Trash

Across neighborhoods, you’ll see volunteers in bright green safety vests and orange shirts, walking sidewalks, clearing curbs, and hauling full bags of litter. Some come solo. Some come with coworkers. Others bring their church groups, schools, and friend crews.

You’ll see:

Smiles under wide-brim hats
Blue gloves filled with purpose
Trash grabbers in action
Neighbors meeting neighbors

It’s community pride in motion.

A Simple Way to Give Back

Looking for an easy way to volunteer? This is it.

Shreveport Green makes it simple for:

Businesses wanting a team-building day
Schools encouraging student service
Churches seeking outreach opportunities
Friend groups who just want to make a difference

You show up. They provide the tools. Together, you make an impact.

And it’s immediate. You can literally see the difference on the very street you’re standing on.

Why It Matters

Clean streets don’t just look better. They:

Boost neighborhood pride
Support property values
Create safer, more welcoming spaces
Show visitors we care about our city

In a city as historic and character-filled as Shreveport, protecting our neighborhoods isn’t someone else’s job—it’s ours.

And when residents, city leadership, and local organizations show up together? That’s when momentum builds.

Get Out. Clean Up. Get Down With Us.

There’s something powerful about standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your neighbors, filling bags with trash, and knowing you helped make Shreveport shine a little brighter that day.

It’s not complicated.
It’s not political.
It’s just people loving where they live.
