Be the change you want to see!!!
Improving the quality of life and showing community pride begins with each one
of us. KYB’s goal is to educate every household to begin utilizing city
recycling opportunities, taking personal responsibility in reducing litter and
supporting beautification projects throughout Yankton and the surrounding area.
Personal responsibility can begin by doing the following:
- Create block awareness and clubs for cleaning up our neighborhoods
- Educateing our children about environmental responsibility
- Participate in recycling, reducing, and reusing.
Keep Yankton Beautiful works on changing attitudes in the following manner:
- Educate the public and promote recycling projects and collection drives.
- Work with community leaders and volenteers to eliminate abandoned vehicles and
illegal dumping.
- Increase public awareness and proper disposal of all forms of litter
- Mobilize annual community cleanup campaigns and litter free events
- Beautify all major corridors into Yankton
- Encourage residential and commercial owners to "clean up" and "green up" to
improve the physical apperance of their property
