Mission Statement
Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful mission is to provide environmental education and volunteer opportunities that develop individual responsibility and environmental stewardship.
Description
Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful is a not-for-profit organization that engages citizens and communities through environmental service and education. An affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, we began as a group of concerned residents who saw that litter was becoming a problem in their community through lack of community pride, limited knowledge of disposal options and urban growth. To combat these problems, we coordinate the Great American Cleanup in April, the Hillsborough River & Coastal Cleanup in the fall, the Adopt-A-Road and Adopt-A-Shore programs, community cleanups and an annual litter index survey.
