About KPB

We believe every person has a stake in Putnam County, including a stake in each community's litter problem. Research and experience tell us that litter attracts the eye and, at times, litter attracts MORE litter. We have found that a clean community discourages littering and illegal dumping. Proper handling of litter and waste in a community raises the standards and
expectations of everyone.

Keep Putnam Beautiful is encouraging individuals to take personal responsibility for their community environment. We will be educating participating communities while teaching proper handling of litter in a community along with beautification and waste minimization.

Whether you are a business owner or employee, a resident, a property owner, a visitor, a volunteer leader or an elected official, YOU can make a difference in litter reduction in Putnam County.

Litter is the result of too little attention to how waste is handled -- the careless and casual handling of waste creates litter.
Knowing more about the causes of litter and where it comes from is a good place to start in addressing litter prevention. One person, one business, one organization can positively affect the behavior of others in their community.

Keep Putnam Beautiful is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty of Putnam County by planting the seeds of stewardship through education, volunteerism and cost effective programs that promote: litter prevention; a Countywide commitment to beautification by individuals, communities, businesses and civic organizations; and enforcement of laws.

Keep Putnam Beautiful has been established as part of the Putnam County Department of Solid Waste with funding supplemented by individual and corporate donations, grants and other non-taxpayer resources.
