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.
