Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser announced Louisiana is cracking down on littering and illegal dumping by increasing enforcement efforts. During a news conference prior to the start of the Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB) State Conference, Lt. Gov. Nungesser was joined by Representative John Illg, Jr. (R – District 78) to talk about the recent passage of Act 67 during the 2025 Legislative Session giving State Park Rangers the jurisdiction to enforce state litter laws anywhere in Louisiana. Additionally, Lt. Gov. Nungesser detailed a revamp of enforcement through the litter hotline and the process involved, and a coming initiative to clean up Louisiana’s waterways.
Nungesser asked citizens to step up and report littering and illegal dumping to the litter hotline at 855-LA-LITTER. With the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Louisiana State Parks, and Keep Louisiana Beautiful working together, there will be a greater enforcement response to those who choose to litter the beautiful state of Louisiana.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will field hotline calls. KLB and State Park Rangers then step in to gather information and evidence. For a citation to be issued, the caller must be willing to sign an affidavit. The following information is needed when reporting: vehicle make and license plate information; location of offense; and photos and/or video, if available.
