Keep Charleston Beautiful, a non-profit organization of concerned citizens, is dedicated to promoting the cleanliness and beautification of the City of Charleston through education and public awareness, community cleanups, and code enforcement.
Description:
The City of Charleston, South Carolina is world renowned for its history, natural beauty and charm. Since 1977, Keep Charleston Beautiful has been working to maintain the beauty of the area through education, litter control and beautification programs. A clean Charleston is a visible demonstration of the pride that area residents take in their community.
Keep Charleston Beautiful is a committed group of community leaders appointed by Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. to take the lead in keeping the City of Charleston clean and beautiful. The work of the Commission extends to all areas of the City of Charleston including the Charleston Peninsula, West Ashley, James Island, Daniel Island, and Johns Island.
As an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful and Palmetto Pride, Keep Charleston Beautiful works with other national and state organizations to promote a clean and beautiful environment for all Americans.
History:
In 1977, Mayor Joseph P. Riley, Jr. organized the Charleston Clean City Commission as an affiliate of the Keep America Beautiful Clean Communities Program. Throughout its existence, Keep Charleston Beautiful has focused on preventing litter before it happens. Historically, the Commission worked to reform sanitation ordinances, create an environmental court, and to coordinate huge litter cleanups.
Early this year, the Charleston Clean City Commission changed its name to Keep Charleston Beautiful.
