Cleanest City, Covington

The Covington Garden Club, in partnership with the City of Covington and Keep Covington Beautiful, has entered Covington in the 55^th annual Louisiana Garden Club Federation’s Cleanest City Contest. The judging of the contest will be held on Tuesday, March 26. The City requests that business owners and residents help prepare for the contest by cleaning up outside their properties. 

Keep Covington Beautiful is requesting volunteers for a community cleanup to be held on March 16, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Participants are asked to meet at the Covington Trailhead, 419 N. New Hampshire Street. Gloves, grabbers and bags will be provided.

The Cleanest City Contest is specifically designed to help cities clean up and help communities work together toward the common goal of having their city look as clean as it possibly can.  This contest is divided into 10 categories according to population.  There will be an overall winner in each category.
