Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful Announcing New Executive Director

Tuesday, March 29th, 2022

Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful (KMBB) will hold a press conference on Tuesday, March 29 at 9:30 a.m. in Commission Chambers at City Hall (700 Poplar Street) to announce its new Executive Director. The press conference will be broadcast live on the KMBB Facebook page.

“We’re very excited to be making this announcement, especially as our community gears up for this weekend’s Clean Streets Matter County-Wide Cleanup,” says Justin Hollingsworth, KMBB Board Chair. “Our goal will be to continue expanding our organization’s impact, strengthening our relationships with neighborhoods and partner organizations, increasing the number of cleanups hosted by groups, and, ultimately, creating a cleaner, more beautiful community.” 

#CleanStreetsMatter County-Wide Cleanup

The fourth County-Wide Cleanup (and first of 2022) will be Saturday, April 2, and KMBB is asking people to registering their group or neighborhood with them. By registering, you will have access to pickers, trash bags, and safety vests, and city crews will better know where to pick up the bags on Monday and Tuesday. Groups will be able to pick up their gear and supplies at the Cherry Blossom Headquarters (794 Cherry Street) on Thursday and Friday, March 31 and April 1, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.   

During the three cleanups in the first year, our community and neighbors picked up more than 215,000 pounds of trash, litter, and debris. Adding that to what our departments, and other community members did since the announcement of our Clean Streets Matter initiative in 2021, more than 20 million pounds of trash, litter, and debris was removed from our streets.
