Fat Tuesday is less than a week away and Mardi Gras parade season is about to kick into high gear. Keep Louisiana Beautiful has come out with a list of tips on how to reduce the amount of trash left behind after the floats have passed.

Littering is a crime in Louisiana and offenders can be fined up to $1,000 per offense.
