COVID-19

For updated info on COVID-19 in Harris County go to: https://houstonemergency.org/covid19/
In the best interest of those we work with and serve, due to the current community health risk with the COVID-19, the Board of Directors for Keep Houston Beautiful have elected to postpone all spring events, projects and programs until further notice. This is effective immediately. This includes any and all Corporate Day, School, NPO and Civic Group Projects, as well as the KHB Tool Lending Program until further notice. Our annual KHB DAY EVENT will be rescheduled to the Fall and will be held in conjunction with our Fall Sweep Event. Date TBA. All tool and supply requests for KHB Day have been cancelled. We are deeply disappointed by having to postpone any of the fun and impactful events and projects with our favorite people in Houston...our volunteers. However, we know that together, we will come back stronger than ever. On behalf of all of us at Team KHB, we wish for healthy families, households and communities during this uncertain time. We look forward to planning future projects and participating in community events with you very soon. Stay tuned to our website and social media outlets to remain updated on all things green and clean.

​The Sounds of Recycling.

Think Stomp, except our version tells the story of what cartons could become after they're recycled. Your green deed could turn them into paper products such as tissues or building materials such as ceiling tiles, so remember to #RecycleYourCartons!
Watch the Music Video
Be sure to stick around until the end of the video so you can flex your musical talents to make your own version! We'd love to see what you come up — share it with us on Facebook or Twitter using #RecycleYourCartons.
