We Beautify
For more than 45 years, Keep Houston Beautiful has been making our city shine. From helping neighborhoods organize cleanups to our nationally recognized Clean Neighborhoods program that is the foundation of neighborhood oriented government, we are always at the forefront of beautification and urban transformation.
There are a number of ways that we can work with you, your neighbors, your civic organization, your community association, your church or any other group. The first step is training on how to organize and conduct a cleanup. We have step-by-step procedures for you to follow and forms to guide you along. For ideas and models, Keep Houston Beautiful has created a Clean Neighborhoods Handbook.
Clean Neighborhoods is a comprehensive, neighborhood oriented government strategy to combat existing litter, graffiti, and illegal dumping in selected neighborhoods and heavily traveled transportation corridors. To prevent the recurrence of these blights, the program focuses on enforcement, education and community improvement and beautification projects utilizing the valuable input and participation of area residents, businesses and civic groups. The Clean Neighborhoods Program relies on Keep Houston Beautiful's effective system for organizing communities and helping residents to work with city government to control environmental blight in their neighborhoods. Seven key elements are essential to the effort: community organization, training of community leaders, assessment of litter/solid waste problem, community improvement projects such as cleanups and beautification efforts, anti-litter/illegal dumping enforcement programs, communications, and access to the City's Task Force so that residents have a "one-stop" coordinated response by several City departments.
We also partner with the Houston Toolbank who maintains a warehouse filled with the kinds of tools you'll need for a cleanup.
Donations of plants, flowers, trees, mulch, and other beautification items are graciously accepted.

We Educate
In addition to beautification projects, there is the opportunity to help educate about litter reduction and recycling.
