History

In 1983, the Keep Austin Beautiful program was founded by Austin Mayor Ron Mullen with the intent to preserve Austin’s natural beauty and quality of life. Initially managed by the Public Works Department, the program was transferred to Lee Cooke at the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce. Cooke formed a committee comprised of citizens and business men and women to further develop the program. In 1985, the Keep Austin Beautiful program was launched and ultimately became an independent 501(c) 3 nonprofit service organization in 2010.
