Beautification Box

Is your neighborhood looking shabby? Have you and your friends always wanted to organize a cleanup project but lacked the tools?

The Brownsville Beautification Committee, along with Keep Brownsville Beautiful has started a new program you may want to use, it is called the Beautification Box.

The Beautification Box is a trailer equipped with tools and supplies: trash pickers, trashbags, shovels, rakes, and much more that you can borrow for zero cost! We want to provide the tools needed for success. Schedule the use of the trailer for beautification projects, cleanup events, or graffiti abatement.

The BEAUTY of this program is you can schedule it WHEN you need it and WHERE you need it.

Check out the Beautification Box, gather some neighbors, friends, and family and host your own neighborhood cleanup!

Be sure to take photos and track work done, so we can include your hard work in our annual Keep Texas Beautiful report.

Schedule a cleanup today! Terms and Conditions Apply.
