Director's Office: Community Outreach - Keep Montgomery County Beautiful

Purpose:

The Keep Montgomery County Beautiful (KMCB) program was started in 1983. It encompasses a series of initiatives designed to maintain the County's high quality environment, especially in connection with the Department of Transportation (MCDOT). The Director maintains an informal citizen advisory committee called the KMCB Task Force.

Members of the Task Force include citizens; local business people; garden club representatives; the Montgomery County Conservation Corps members; area bottling companies and recycling representatives; civic association officers; and County staff.

The Task Force functions to educate and change citizen attitudes about littering; support cleanup and beautification projects; encourage citizens and businesses to extensively recycle; and improve awareness about graffiti in the community.
