The rivers and lakes of our great state provide recreation, drinking water, agricultural irrigation and beauty.  Unfortunately, many Texas Waterways are polluted.  Everything from cigarette butts to plastic bags and old tires contributes to substandard water quality and affects the beauty and appeal of our waterways.  The Texas Waterway Cleanup Program is an effort between the Keep Texas Beautiful and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.  The program offers FREE cleanup supplies and helps communities and organizations coordinate waterway cleanups and litter prevention activities.
