Our Mission: Keep Union County Beautiful is a nonprofit organization who’s goal is to educate individuals about litter prevention and ways to reduce, reuse, recycle and properly manage waste materials. Through partnerships and strategic alliances with, citizens, businesses and local government, Keep Union County Beautiful programs motivate the community to clean up, beautify and improve their neighborhoods, thereby creating healthier, safer and more livable community environments.

Welcome To Our Website
We hope you find this site to be a valuable source of information.
 
It doesn't matter who you are or where you live, you can make a difference when it comes to taking care of our environment.

Keep Union County Beautiful has several programs in place.  We offer something for everyone, including both children and adults.  KUCB's programs give everyone in the community the opportunity to participate in Litter Prevention, Waste Reduction, Recycling, Community Beautification projects, and much more.

KUCB is very proud of our Adopt-A-Road program.  We have several miles of roadway in Union County that have been adopted by individuals, small groups, and organizations who have committed their time and efforts to clean up specific areas regularly.

LITTER EDUCATION

What Is Litter?  Why Do People Litter? Where Does Litter Go?

How Can I Reduce Litter?

 

 KUCB is proud to play an active role in educating our community's children about the importance of the cleanliness of our environment.  Each year, KUCB spearheads various programs through participation of the schools in Union County.  One such program takes place each year in observance of Earth Day. 

Many people participate in recycling.  Common recyclable items include plastic, newspaper, glass, cardboard, and a great deal more.  For an extensive listing of items that can be recycled, take a look at The Consumer Recycling Guide.  You may be surprised at some of the items you will find listed.  Currently, there are six Union County Convenience Centers.  A variety of items can be recycled at those locations.  You may view according to center location, or by a list of recyclable items.  If your business participates in recycling of any product, please contact the site administrator to have your information posted on the page.
