Litter Prevention

In 2024, Keep the Midlands Beautiful recruited 6,027 volunteers who spent 16,841 hours removing 189,807 pounds of litter and 860 bags of recyclables at 738 litter cleanup events.

Recycling

Each year we provide six free paper shredding drop-off events for residents, we collect over 5,500 pairs of shoes for people in developing countries, we provide free recycling, trash, and cigarette containers for events, and we provide recycling education and presentations.

Complete this form at least ONE WEEK in advance to borrow free litter removal supplies including litter grabbers, safety vests, cloth gloves, and trash bags.

Submit a short report card after each litter pick-up to document the number of volunteers, hours spent and the number of bags of litter collected.  This helps us receive crucial funding to provide supplies for you at no charge.
