MAKING WACO A MORE VIBRANT AND SUSTAINABLE
PLACE TO LIVE.

ENGAGING & INSPIRING FOR A MORE BEAUTIFUL WACO.

For over 45 years we have been doing more than keeping our city clean.
Keep Waco Beautiful was established by a group of engaged community members that were dedicated to making Waco a more beautiful place to live.

Every year, thousands of volunteer hours have been contributing to making Waco more beautiful and sustainable place to live. With each volunteer hour contributing $33.41 of economic value to Waco, we contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to making our city a more beautiful and vibrant place to live.

We believe that our community thrives when they have the opportunity to benefit from beautiful surroundings and have access to sustainable resources.

OUR PURPOSE

Rooted in a passion for beauty and a vision for maintaining
a vibrant city, Keep Waco Beautiful works collaboratively and
intentionally to bring value to every sector of our community.

OUR IMPACT

A beautiful city is where our community thrives. We are working year-round on effective programs and events to improve our community, creating a more beautiful place to live, work and play.

OUR VALUES GO BEYOND
A CLEANER CITY.

INNOVATION

We are problem solvers at heart, and innovative thinking serves as the key to solving some of the biggest problems that face our community. Our innovative approach inspires as we are seen as the expert for solutions that involve recycling, sustainability, waste diversion and beautification.

COLLABORATION

We may initiate change, but we rely on the support of our entire community to deliver optimal impact. With a collective impact model in mind, we strategically work with organizations, public and private sectors to fulfill our mission.

EDUCATION

In everything we do, we serve as educators. Whether we are working directly with students from Waco-area schools, leading beautification efforts, working with volunteers or collaborating with other organizations, we are constantly teaching our community the value of keeping our city beautiful.

BEAUTIFICATION

This is our mandate–we tackle opportunities to create beautiful spaces. Whether it’s planting trees or doing a larger-scaled project like Indian Springs Park, Miss Nellie’s Pretty Place,
we find ways to make our city as beautiful as
it can be.

SUSTAINABILITY

By making a difference in the environmental quality of life, we evaluate our impact by metrics provided by our local and national affiliates, to quantify the significant value given to our city through our volunteers and members.
