Throughout the year, more than 12,000 citizens make themselves available on evenings and weekends to roll up their sleeves and get the job done. KCB provides trash bags, gloves and yard tools to help our Columbus area volunteers keep the trash in their community where it belongs- in the trash can. KCB also works with the City of Columbus to have the collected trash picked up once the cleanup is completed. A nation of volunteers comes out each spring as KCB starts its biggest cleanup season by kicking off Keep America Beautiful's Great American Cleanup . This program is the nation's largest volunteer litter cleanup, and KCB has been involved since the program's first year, 1985.
Volunteers can make a lasting impression by adopting a roadway.
Groups can have their name on signs posted in the area to recognize their regular efforts in keeping that area clean. We're proud to support Mayor Michael B. Coleman's Neighborhood Pride initiative. This initiative provides support to Columbus area neighborhoods that are taking pride in their communities by taking advantage of the many resources available to make it more beautiful. If you would like to sponsor or conduct a cleanup in your area, please give us a call at 645-8027.
