As an affiliate of both Keep America Beautiful and Keep Arkansas Beautiful, Keep Benton County Beautiful will strive to become a leader in community improvement through:
Education: This is the key to encouraging positive behaviors toward community improvement
Individual Responsibility: Improving community environments and quality of life all begins with personal responsibility -- individuals becoming more engaged as citizens and stewards of the community.
Public-Private Partnerships: Broad-based community alliances are essential to achieve sustainable community improvement.
Volunteer Action: By engaging volunteers we extend the reach of our education and multiply the impact of our actions.
Our Focus:
Litter Prevention: Defining litter, identifying the cause, reducing it, organizing cleanups and properly handling discarded waste in our communities.
Waste Reduction: Reducing the impact of solid waste in our communities through integrated programs including source reduction and reuse, recycling and education about landfilling, composting and waste-to-energy.
Beautification: Improving the visual aspects of our communities through programs that beautify and naturally clean our environment including community gardens, restoring vacant lots, highway beautification, native and wildflower plantings and graffiti abatement.
Keep Benton County Beautiful Challenges YOU to Give Your Time or Spare A Dime. All proceeds benefit the mission of KBCB.
