The Organization

Keep San Antonio Beautiful (KSAB) is a certified affiliate of Keep America Beautiful and Keep Texas Beautiful. KSAB concentrates its efforts on educating the public about solid waste issues, litter prevention, graffiti abatement, and public stewardship.

Established in 1980, KSAB is sustained with the assistance of a broad base of support from local government, private industry, and citizens.

Our common goal is to make San Antonio a better place in which to live.

"Though the word beautification makes the concept sound merely cosmetic, it involves much more: clean water, clean air, clean roadsides, safe waste disposal and preservation of valued old landmarks as well as great parks and wilderness areas. To me... beautification means our total concern for the physical and human quality we pass on to our children and the future."
