Keep Tallahassee Beautiful

More info coming soon on our annual Shoreline Cleanup this September! Help be a part of the solution.

Whether driving your car, hiking in the woods or out on the water, stash your trash Always properly dispose of your litter to help . We can all do our part.

The Adopt-a-Street numbers are in for the second quarter of 2024: 177 bags worth of litter were removed from our streets during April, May, and June. Wow! 🌳✨

We're so thankful for all the hard work our Adopt-A-Street groups put into their quarterly cleanups! These photos are from Truth Gatherers Dream Center Church during the June cleanup on High Road. 👏🌱💚

Are you ready to help us ? Send us a message to learn more about volunteering, joining our Board, or becoming a street adopter!

Please make sure to verify what items are actually recyclable before putting them in your bin!

Did you know that frozen food boxes, milk cartons, paper cups and other wax-coated cardboard is not recyclable via your curbside bin? It isn't. Place these items in the trash.

Keep Tallahassee Beautiful would like to encourage all our Adopt A Street groups and our faithful cleanup event volunteers to think about using your good works now during the aftermath of the damage from the tornadoes.

If possible, consider scheduling a cleanup on your adopted street this week and spill over a little outside of it to help with bringing some of these neighborhoods back to life. It would truly make a difference! Be sure to avoid any unsafe areas where electrical or repair work continues.

If you have suggestions or ideas to share on places that could really use help, please send us a message or email [email protected].

Thank you for your service all year long!

Did you spot Keep Tallahassee Beautiful’s Earth Day Art Contest billboards around town this week? Keep your eyes peeled- they’ll be running on two boards through May 5th!

Thanks to our partners at Lamar, both of the winning student artists get to take home their very own miniature billboard. Happy Earth Week everyone! 💚

Congratulations to Abigail and Max, our two overall winners in KTB’s 2024 Earth Day Art Contest! 🌎 We received dozens of inspiring entries from students all over Tallahassee that showcased the meaning of Earth Day through hand drawn artwork.

Thanks to our partners at Lamar Advertising of Tallahassee and Pepsi, these two works of art will be displayed on billboards in town leading up to Earth day! 🌳 ✨

We'd like to give a shout out to one of our Adopt-A-Street partners, the FSU Sustainable Green Team! ✨ Led by Mitch Gans, the FSU Green Team is an multi-departmental collaboration of passionate FSU employees who have been an AAS partner since October of 2022. They strive to promote socially and environmentally sustainable practices by empowering individuals to make the right choices. 🌱 One of their accomplishments included implementing a new recycling program at FSU that for the first time recycles plastic drink can rings and prevents them from being sent to the landfill.

Recently the team won an award for the implementation of a zero-waste computing facility from the Florida TaxWatch Government Productivity Awards. 👏 Congratulations and thanks for all your hard work!

We love the beauty of Tallahassee!

Sunlight filtering through the oak canopy creates a magical ambiance. Step into a world of old-growth majesty in the Apalachicola National Forest. Whether it's the lush greens of summer or the rich hues of autumn, this natural sanctuary is a year-round delight.
