FACTS & FIGURES

In addition to the annual Beautification Day, community members contribute hundreds of hours picking up litter throughout their neighborhoods and parks. In late 2024, a group of volunteers and community organizers decided it was time to re-affiliate Keep Johnson City Beautiful with the Keep TN Beautiful state-level organization. These efforts will solidify the progress volunteers have made over the last few years and provide additional resources to the community in efforts to continue to create a more sustainable and beautiful Johnson City, Tennessee.

At the 2025 Beautification Day, we had 135 volunteers in attendance to pick up a total of 1521 lbs. of waste all around Johnson City. The litter was collected from 14 routes across all of Johnson City. In addition to waste, Beautification Day volunteers recycled 35 lbs. of aluminum, 60 lbs. of glass, 55 lbs. of plastic, and 11 lbs. of mixed paper. Volunteers returned to the Farmers Market Pavilion in Downtown Johnson City for a community picnic.
