Keep America Beautiful-Topeka/Shawnee County

Keep America Beautiful-Topeka/Shawnee County is an affiliate of the national KAB, and is dedicated to improving the Topeka and Shawnee County Community through public private partnerships working on beautification, litter reduction, recycling and waste reduction education projects.

History:
Keep America Beautiful is a national nonprofit community improvement and educational organization with a network of more than 600 local, statewide and international affiliate programs that educates individuals about litter prevention and ways to reduce, reuse, recycle and properly manage waste materials. Through partnerships and strategic alliances with citizens, businesses and government, Keep America Beautiful’s programs motivate millions of volunteers annually to clean up, beautify and improve their neighborhoods, thereby creating healthier, safer and more livable community environments. The story begins in 1953, when a group of corporate and civic leaders met in New York City to discuss a revolutionary idea—bringing the public and private sectors together to develop and promote a national cleanliness ethic. In 1977 our local affiliate was born.
