"Keep the Quarter Clean" Campaign
The Keep the Quarter Clean campaign builds upon the City of New Orleans’ desire to Clean up NOLA and the State’s campaign to Keep Louisiana Beautiful. While businesses and residents undertook the hard work of freshening up their facades, deep-cleaning, and generally spiffing up their properties during the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020, the French Quarter is once again in need of improved sanitation. The intent of the program is to maintain a higher level of cleanliness, where all stakeholders feel a sense of ownership in promoting the Keep the Quarter Clean campaign and driving a greater level of litter abatement and sanitation amongst our visitors, residents, businesses, and government agencies providing services in the French Quarter.
It is all of our responsibility to preserve the French Quarter. Keep the Quarter Clean utilizes a multi-pronged campaign in collaboration with our appointing entities, political partners, and friends throughout our community.
How Citizens Can Help
The Keep the Quarter Clean campaign builds awareness by issuing window decals, car magnets and partnering with civic-minded non-profit partners to share the message through social media. We invite everyone to share this important information and submit their observations to Keep the Quarter Clean!
Citizens can also participate by reporting sanitation issues. Scan the QR code on our flyer or email quarterclean@fqmd.org.
Free Keep the Quarter Clean decals and magnets are available at the FQMD offices located at 400 North Peters, Suite 206.
How Hotels Can Help
We would like to impart that we are glad our visitors are here and would love for them to come back for years to come! We understand that a part of that relationship includes accountability in our efforts to make the French Quarter a clean and safe place to visit.
In partnership with Keep Louisiana Beautiful, FQMD offers Keep the Quarter Clean rack cards to enable our hotelier partners to equip guests with valuable resources in reporting sanitation and litter issues. It is the purpose of these cards to raise awareness to all who enjoy the French Quarter; to be mindful of their litter and provide the resources necessary to properly maintain sanitation standards.
