Affiliate Awards and Recognition
Keep Cobb Beautiful is the county’s award-winning nonprofit volunteer organization committed to environmental programs in our community. Our many activities reach out into neighborhoods, schools, youth groups, and the general population with programs on recycling, litter reduction, county-wide cleanups, water conservation, and the benefits of trees.
Keep Cobb Beautiful garnered several local and national awards this year for programs of which we are quite proud! We are extremely grateful to partner organizations and supporters that help us achieve our objectives—which in turn enable us to earn the recognition and respect of our peers both nationally and statewide.
