Keep Austin Beautiful wants to help keep Austin beautiful
Friday, January 7, 2022 by Elizabeth Pagano
Keep Austin Beautiful is inviting you to love where you live – and providing the supplies to help you do it. Every second Saturday of the month, Keep Austin Beautiful encourages Austinites to beautify their neighborhoods through whatever action they choose, such as picking up litter in a park or mowing their yard. On Saturday, Jan. 8, the group is offering free cleanup kits (sized for groups of 1-5 or 5-10 volunteers) that include litter grabbers, gloves, trash and recycling bags, and safety guidelines. Sign up here for contactless pickup of supplies near the intersection of Holly and I-35 (until they run out).
