Mission
Empowering citizens, government and business leaders tokeep Massachusetts communities clean and beautiful
What We Do
Keep Massachusetts Beautiful is a non-profit organization that is working tokeep Massachusetts communities clean, litter-free and beautiful. We
believe that litter, illegal dumpsites, graffiti, and vacant lots not only
hurt property values and discourage economic development, but they also
reduce a community’s collective self-esteem.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We train local volunteers how to
collaborate with local government and business leaders to achieve
significant and lasting improvements. We focus on three core pressure
points in order to improve the appearance of local communities and
influence behaviors:
Litter prevention and cleanup: Understand who and what is causing litter
and empower volunteer and government resources to clean it up.
Beautification and community greening: Sprucing up public spaces with
landscaping projects, tree planting, and other infrastructure improvements
builds community pride and spurs local economic activity.
Recycling and Waste Reduction: Effective recycling programs reduce the
volume of trash that ends up in landfills, in our waterways, and as litter.
