The Keep Bamberg County Beautiful board members are appointed by the Keep Bamberg County Beautiful Director, who encourages the community to volunteer for efforts that improve the physical and visual landscape, primarily through beautification, recycling, litter prevention, and cleanup initiatives throughout the county.
On a regular basis, board members can be found conducting continuing education and awareness programs regarding litter, recycling, and the proper handling of solid waste. They also help develop new programs, such as the "Every Butt Counts - Cigarette Waste Recycling Program," which results in the sustained reduction of litter. Members review and recommend legislative changes regarding solid waste management in the county.
Often, you can find members undertaking beautification projects, participating in litter cleanups, or showing community members how to recycle. Meetings are held monthly and are located at the Wilson House, located at 1162 North Street.
Each member serves a one-year term, and those on the board serve without compensation. Annually, members select a chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary. Board members form committees, including neighborhood/civic groups, schools, municipal beautification, business recycling, in-house county recycling, public relations, and finance/fundraising committees.
To become a board member of Keep Bamberg County Beautiful, it is recommended that you first attend several meetings and projects. Currently, there are two open positions for board members. For more information, please ask a current board member or email kbcb@bambergcounty.sc.gov.
