Keep Pickens Beautiful is a Pickens County, nonprofit, volunteer organization affiliated with Keep America Beautiful. Our work is focused to sustain litter reduction and voluntary recycling along with projects that enhance the beauty of our environment and improve solid waste management.
Keep Pickens Beautiful (KPB), formerly Citizens for a Clean Community, is an organization founded in 1990, comprised of a group of concerned citizens striving to develop a clean and beautiful environment for Pickens County. A part of the Keep America Beautiful Program, KPB seeks to improve quality of life by eliminating litter through increased public awareness.
