A Message from Our Executive Director

Dear Friends,

Achieving our mission is a huge undertaking. Litter, unsightly yards, abandoned vehicles, and recycling education are a few of the quality of life issues that our capital city faces today.

Remember the crying Indian, Iron Eyes Cody, shedding a tear over all of the trash and litter as he took his canoe out of the river? All of us are frustrated by the trash and litter that accumulates on our roadsides, the recyclable items that people throw away, the clear-cutting of trees and eyesores in highly visible areas of our city.

Since 1961, we have worked with community volunteers and designed our projects to improve the quality of life in Mississippi’s Capital City. Keep Jackson Beautiful works to stimulate a will in our citizens to take individual responsibility for improving the quality of life in their neighborhoods.

Do you need help reporting a litter issue or need to know how to dispose of old paint? Please click here for links to our partners and for directions on how to report issues, dispose of products and other help that you might need.

For every $1 of local support given to Keep Jackson Beautiful, Inc. in 2007, we returned $30 to the community! Our goal is to work toward long-term solutions and education. We hope that you will join us in our efforts!

Thank you for visiting our site,

Marsha Hobson

Executive Director
