Our Impact

While many factors play a role in making recycling successful, three key factors guide the work of Keep Nebraska City Beautiful to improve recycling in America: convenience, communication, and cause (getting people to understand the many benefits of recycling and why they should care).

By educating and engaging individuals to recycle more of the right things the right way—at home, at work and on-the-go, we can help make recycling more economically viable, creating jobs and providing recyclables to manufacture new products and packaging, while continuing to reap greater environmental and community benefits.
