Created to clean-up up our scruffy city before the 1982 World’s Fair, Keep Knoxville Beautiful has been working hard to keep Knoxville clean, green, and more beautiful for almost 50 years.
At Keep Knoxville Beautiful, our mission is to promote litter eradication, waste reduction, and beautification efforts in Knox County communities using education, events, and volunteer engagement. Just in the last year we reached over 5,000 students, documented 18,136 volunteer hours, and cleared 113,781 pounds of litter. We wouldn’t have been able to make it happen without our dedicated volunteers, invaluable partnerships, and the drive towards sustainability and involvement from community members like you!
