Litter Sweeps

Keep Charleston Beautiful conducts litter sweeps year round with volunteer groups of any size. Locations are flexible and often depend on group size, environmental need, time of year, and volunteer preferences. All cleanup supplies are provided. Recently Keep Charleston Beautiful initiated a youth litter sweeps, called Clara’s Kids Club, so our young citizens can get involved with stewardship in our communities as well!

Fundraising

Looking for a fun way for your company or organization to give back and help us support Keep Charleston Beautiful? Coordinate a fundraising event for your coworkers, friends, or family members. Get the group together at a local brewery or restaurant. Talk with a manager beforehand and ask that a portion of sales ($1/pint, %10 food sales, etc.) be donated to Friends of Keep Charleston Beautiful. We are happy to come join in the fun as well, and set up an informational table. Going out for happy hour, make it an event for the whole company and coordinate a donation with the business.

Zero Waste Events

Keep Charleston Beautiful’s Zero Waste Events Program provides waste reduction services for local events, encouraging composting and recycling to divert waste from the landfill. Volunteers often help staff our waste sorting stations, and educate event patrons about the details (and benefits!) of composting and recycling.

Beautification

One of our main focus areas at Keep Charleston Beautiful is beautification of public spaces. Projects can include activities like graffiti abatement, general park upkeep and upgrades, illegal decal removal, and occasional planting activities.
