Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful Inc. is a non-profit organization that was established in 1992 by a group of concerned residents who saw that litter was becoming a problem in their community through lack of community pride, limited knowledge of disposal options and urban growth. The organization, previously known as Keep Hillsborough County Clean, originated with the Thonotosassa Pilot Program, which dates back to August of 1990.

The mission of Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful is to prevent litter, promote recycling and conservation, clean up and beautify our community through action, education, awareness and by fostering stewardship.

Over the last 15 years, we have recruited tens of thousands of volunteers and collected hundreds of thousands of pounds of litter and illegally dumped material during the Great American Cleanup, the International Coastal Cleanup and the Adopt-A-Road/Adopt-A-Shore programs.

The support from the Hillsborough County Solid Waste Department, Board of County Commissioners, board of directors and community partners is the driving force behind the organization. Our deep appreciation is offered to all these entities including our volunteers who help KHCB succeed in its mission.
