Today we celebrate Global Recycling Day! 🌎💚

At Clean Memphis and Project Green Fork, we’re working toward a cleaner, greener Memphis. By partnering with our community, we can turn action into lasting impact.

Together, we can build a more sustainable future one step at a time!

A great reminder to reduce, reuse, and recycle♻️

Taking a look back at our inaugural Circular Mid-South Summit, in partnership with Memphis-Shelby County Office of Sustainability! Strong communities are built through collaboration. We’re grateful for the partners, educators, and residents who help move sustainability forward across Memphis.

Getting ready for spring cleaning? Donate, reuse, or repurpose items whenever possible to keep them out of the landfill. If something has life left in it, this is one of the simplest ways to protect our environment and our resources.

From schools to neighborhoods, Clean Memphis programs are designed to meet people where they are and build sustainable solutions together. Starting with the next generation, our education programming introduces students to nature through hands-on activities in and out of the classroom.

Clean neighborhoods don’t happen by accident. They happen when neighbors show up, work together, and take pride in their community. If you're looking for a way to get involved, let's connect!

Seeing is believing! 📊 Compass Community Schools students tracked food waste over a week, sparking ideas to reduce and reuse. Small changes make big waves.
