To combat litter and promote environmental stewardship, the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury proudly introduces TrashFormer, our community's newest hero. TrashFormer is a live-action, litter-collecting robot. He's not just a mascot — he's a symbol of collective responsibility and action. Designed to engage both young and old, this vibrant character is a constant reminder that keeping our surroundings clean starts with each of us.
TrashFormer's mission is simple yet impactful: to remind everyone that litter belongs in the trash can. By embodying this straightforward message, TrashFormer aims to inspire residents across neighborhoods, schools, and parks to take ownership of their environment. It's about more than just picking up trash; it's about fostering a sense of pride in our places, work, and play.
The #PickItUp initiative is at the heart of TrashFormer's campaign. This movement encourages individuals to follow in TrashFormer's footsteps by actively participating in clean-up efforts and making conscious choices that benefit our community's well-being. The transformation we aim for isn't merely physical; it's also about nurturing a culture of care and respect for our shared spaces. TrashFormer is a partner to the #LitterChamps initiative that rewards community members each year for their efforts in combating litter.
Will you join us in this vital mission? Together with TrashFormer, let's transform Calcasieu Parish into a cleaner, safer place for everyone! TrashFormer was built in partnership with McNeese State University engineering students.
Note: Open to all Calcasieu Parish schools, government organizations, and non-profit institutions.
