Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful

Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public environmental education organization. Our mission is to improve our environment through education, public awareness and community involvement. We are committed to involving individuals in actions that enhance civic vitality: becoming informed; preventing and cleaning up litter;
safely disposing of household waste, including toxic substances that can contaminate groundwater and drinking water; and recycling to reduce the community’s solid waste footprint.

These focus areas make neighborhoods safer, commercial corridors more vibrant and public spaces more beautiful. They contribute to the health and well-being of residents, while keeping our local environment clean, green and healthy.

Keep Northern Illinois Beautiful is North Central Illinois’ only affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, the nation’s largest volunteer-based community action and education organization, and has been operating continuously in the Rockford area since 1988.
