It's hard to be proud of something when it's dirty or covered in trash and the City of Shreveport is ready to take its trash and blight issue seriously.
From economic reasons to the thrill of the hunt, there are many reasons why people go dumpster diving in Louisiana. But, is dumpster diving illegal in Louisiana? Well...it's complicated...kind of.
If you are a dumpster diver, are considering going dumpster diving, or are the person dumpster diving here at our radio stations in West Shreveport, please don't.
Have you ever had a lot of trash or something that you needed to dispose of but didn't want to take the time to go to the landfill or city dump? Have you ever eyed someone else's dumpster and thought, 'Why not?' before thinking better of throwing your stuff away?
When I first saw the notes from the last Bossier Parish Police Jury meeting regarding trash pickup, I was like, 'Wait, Bossier Parish has trash pickup? Where have I been???'
