The main river program is in October, but many groups are involved with streams in our watershed. The state award winning, Teacher Supply Storehouse opened in 1998 for teachers in Marietta and Cobb, utilizing materials that might otherwise have been discarded into landfills. The Storehouse had over 2,500 teachers visit last fiscal year. We encourage manufacturers and other businesses to donate their overruns and mislabeled items or their by-products from a manufacturing process to the Storehouse. Southeast Paper Recycling donates space for these items to be sorted and given to teachers for classroom use.
Teachers have great imaginations and can find uses for all sorts of items.
Volunteers and items are welcomed. The twenty member Commission and numerous volunteers have made Marietta a more enjoyable place for all of us to live, work, and play. We encourage everyone, regardless of age, to become more involved in the preservation of our environment. Please join us in keeping Marietta beautiful. It is the mission of keep Marietta Beautiful, the Marietta Clean City Commission, to generate an environmental pride and a sense of ownership within the Marietta Community.
