- We partner with public and private sector organizations and individuals who are similarly committed to our mission.
- Education is at the core of our work and we provide tools and resources to the general public, affiliates and volunteers to strengthen their capacity.
- We believe that the diversity of the communities in our network is a fundamental strength. We promote an environment where all individuals, including our staff and volunteers, feel a sense of belonging to help create and sustain clean and beautiful communities around Texas.
Throughout our work, we support what makes our communities unique, including race, ethnicity, culture, socio-economic background, gender, sexual orientation, age, and physical ability. We commit to aligning our culture and operations to be a beacon of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging.
POLICY PLATFORM

- Existing financial incentives and disincentives must meet Texas’ beautification and community improvement needs and new, innovative funding solutions should be explored.
- Adopt policies that increase the amount and quality of solid waste recycled in Texas.
- Address littering in Texas by providing law enforcement and local communities with more tools and resources and enforcing and strengthening existing laws.
