This , Keep Houston Beautiful partnered with the City of Houston Solid Waste Management to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards!

Houston ISD students got hands-on experience with recycling and toured a recycling facility to see how their efforts make a real difference. Together, we’re working to reduce waste, conserve resources, and build a more sustainable Houston.

A special thank you to Houston Clean City Commissioners Alan Steinberg, Jason Smith, and Sara Tyler for their support today!

Let’s keep educating and empowering our community to take action for a cleaner, greener future. ♻️

10 Years ago Moody Rambin’s founder Howard Rambin was recognized by Mayor Parker for creating Keep Houston Beautiful, which works with hundreds of thousands of volunteers to recycle, plant trees, increase Houston’s water use efficiency and clean up neighborhoods. Pictured, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Co regional president Jim Tates with Howard and the Mayor. Dubbed the Litter Day Saint in the ‘60s, Howard piloted programs that resulted in cleaner and safer construction sites. Mayor Lee Brown proclaimed November 13th 2014 Howard Rambin Day for his volunteer leadership with Keep Houston Beautiful. Marking 35 years of KHB!

Don't forget to compost your pumpkin!

In 2023, over 14,000 pounds of pumpkins were collected and diverted from the landfill. This year, the program is expanding to include a new location, the Westpark Recycling Center, and will run through December 6 so you can enjoy your seasonal décor beyond Thanksgiving Day.

Each year, the Industry Association’s () young professionals' group, Future Leaders in Plastics, organizes a litter cleanup as part of their mission to positively impact communities the industry serves. This year's event took place at Woodland Park in downtown Houston, TX, coinciding with this week's National Plastics Conference. With the help of 47 volunteers, we collected 51 bags of mismanaged waste. Recyclables will be directed towards a recycling pathway by Cyclyx! We’re thrilled to partner with them for this year’s Fall Sweep.
