Dear DeSoto Parish Residents,

      We have observed a troubling increase in the amount of trash accumulating along our roadsides. This not only mars the natural beauty of our parish but also poses significant environmental and health hazards. We urge everyone to be more conscientious about disposing of their waste properly. Please help us keep our roads clean and safe by ensuring that all trash is disposed of in designated bins. Your cooperation is essential in maintaining the cleanliness and safety of our community. Let’s work together to preserve the beauty of our parish for all to enjoy.

Thank you for your attention and commitment.
