Keep Cocke County Beautiful
KCCB
Welcome
to Keep Cocke County Beautiful's (KCCB) web-site, your information
source for litter prevention, beautification and solid waste reduction.
KCCB is an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful (KAB).
We are a non-profit organization devoted to promoting a cleaner, healthier and safer community and to protect our natural resources through education. We have three areas of focus: litter prevention, beautification and waste reduction. We believe that behaviors - like littering - can be changed.
We believe that beautification can impact our economic growth and safety. And we believe that recycling is a choice that we can embrace to keep our landfill empty and hauling fees lower. Please join us by volunteering in one of our many programs or special events.

About KCCB
Keep Cocke County Beautiful is an affiliate of
Keep America Beautiful. We were first certified as an affiliate on November 12, 1993 but then became inactive in 2002. We were then re-certified in July of 2004 and are more active than ever. KCCB has an 18 member volunteer Board of Directors and one paid staff member.
KCCB is not a custodial service that can be hired to do clean-ups. We do not want our volunteers always picking up litter because simple clean ups are not enough and do not work. Loose trash returns in just a few days after clean up.
We focus on PREVENTION vs. PICKUP. Now, cleanups will always be part of our action plan for a cleaner community but changing the behaviors and attitudes that generate the litter is the long-term, lasting solution.
