ABOUT
KEEP PASCO BEAUTIFUL
Our mission is to improve Pasco County by engaging the community in sustainable efforts to reduce litter, promote waste reduction, and encourage beautification.
MISSION & HISTORY.
​​Keep Pasco Beautiful, Inc. is a not-for-profit environmental organization located in Pasco County, Florida. Our focus areas are litter prevention, waste reduction, beautification, and sustainable education in our community. We are a community coalition of volunteers from the public and private sectors, including government, education, business, industry, civic groups and individuals. The organization was first established in 1992 as Keep Pasco Clean and Green. In 1994 we obtained our Keep America Beautiful affiliate certification and changed our name to Keep Pasco Beautiful, Inc. We are a self-supporting, non-profit Florida corporation, tax exempt under IRS 501(c)3, and are not part of any Pasco County government or office. For every $1 we receive in government funding we raise $3.50 through donations and volunteer hours.
