Cleanup Supplies for Community Cleanups
Keep Roswell Beautiful assists individuals or groups in the community by offering free cleanup supplies for their community cleanup project. If you would like to organize a community cleanup and want to request supplies, please complete the Cleanup Supplies Request Form. You can also contact KRB Program Coordinator for questions or more information.
Clean and Beautiful To-Go Cart
The "Clean and Beautiful To-Go Cart" is now stocked and ready for use. This is a trailer that holds cleanup supplies. Groups who want to do a community cleanup can request the trailer be parked in that area and they can use all the cleanup supplies inside the trailer, for free, then the trailer will be picked up afterward. The supplies in the trailer include trash grabbers, trash bags, gloves, safety vests, brooms, leaf scoops, shovel, rake, and more! The “Clean and Beautiful To-Go Cart” is a resource that can make it easier for groups to do community cleanups by having supplies brought to the area of the cleanup and picked up afterward. (Note: Groups use supplies only, not the trailer they are stored in.)
For questions, comments, or information about any of the KRB projects or resources, contact KRB Program Coordinator, Kathy Lay at 575-500-0395.

Litter Prevention Campaigns
#NoButts4Me
The KRB 2022 litter prevention campaign targeted the most littered item in the world, in the US, and in New Mexico - cigarette butts. They are not just wood (paper) and leaves (tobacco). The filter is plastic and filled with thousands of chemicals, hundreds of which are toxic. They are harmful and can kill wildlife and fish. If animals could talk, they would tell us #NoButts4Me.
If you are a smoker, keep a small jar under your car seat to dispose of cigarette butts.
Take it one step farther by joining the effort to recycle cigarette butts. Put the collected cigarette butts in a zip bag, toss it in a mailer, and use the free shipping label from Terracycle to send them to be recycled. Learn more about the program and sign up to participate here: https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/cigarette-waste-recycling
#LeafNoLitter
The KRB 2023 litter prevention campaign used the "watching eyes effect" to help encourage people visiting Roswell parks to #LeafNoLitter behind. KRB installed signs in the parks and put faces on over 40 trees through Roswell. Visit our Litter Prevention Campaign page for full details and links to the #LeafNoLitter videos.
