Stream Clean OCTOBER 5TH, 2019 Keep Denton Beautiful is an organization all about making our community clean and beautiful again through hosting trash cleanups, planting trees, and encouraging every citizen to do their part.

The Stream Clean is a huge event that is so much fun to help with and we were invited to participate! Individuals and organizations from around Denton volunteer and were assigned different spots around the city to clean-up. After the Stream Clean this year, there was a volunteer appreciation lunch at City Hall. Volunteers also get a free t-shirt for volunteering! Thank you to everyone who came out to help!
