Our Mission: Empowering MA residents, government, and business leaders to keep our communities clean and beautiful.

We believe that litter, illegal dumpsites, graffiti, and vacant lots not only hurt property values and discourage economic development, but they also reduce a community’s collective self-esteem. Litter begets litter and blight begets blight.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Residents can take ownership of the appearance of their communities. That’s where Keep Massachusetts Beautiful can help.
