Keep Charlotte Beautiful (KCB) was founded in 1974 and is one of the nation's first Keep America Beautiful affiliates. KCB's objective is to enhance the quality of life for Charlotteans by maintaining and improving the cleanliness and beauty of our City. The Committee works closely with neighborhood organizations and homeowners' groups, as well as with area businesses, schools and local governments to achieve its goals.
Annual Projects
- Adopt-A-City Street
Businesses and individuals can make a difference in their community by volunteering for the Adopt-A-City-Street program and committing to clean it at least four times a year. To sign up, download the Adopt a City Street Application Packet and follow the submission instructions in the cover letter. If you have adopted a city street and would like to report a recent cleanup, complete the Clean-Up-Report. For additional questions about the Adopt-A-City Street program, please email us KCB@ci.charlotte.nc.us or call 704-336-6399.
- Litter Sting
KCB members and the media ride along with Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers looking litterbugs during the Litter Sting. Violators may find themselves paying littering fines and appearing in court. Want to help? Litter Bugs can be reported by calling 704-336-4465.
- Neighborhood Recognition Program
The Committee, through established guidelines, selects a neighborhood and recognizes its cleanup efforts with a certificate and presentation at a City Council meeting.
