TCB is a non-profit environmental advocacy and action organization founded in 1985 to preserve and improve our environment, conserve natural resources, and enhance quality of life in the City of Tucson and eastern Pima County. These goals are achieved through educational and hands-on programs emphasizing personal action in recycling and waste reduction, land stewardship, urban forestry and beautification. Originally established to keep our community litter-free, TCB has grown to coordinate programs and projects with a diversity of partners including government agencies, community groups, businesses, and the support of thousands of volunteers. Programs are supported by grants, memberships, business and personal donations, in-kind donations of materials and services.

Tucson Clean & Beautiful programs provide ongoing and occasional one-time project opportunities for community groups with at least 5 participants. Neighborhoods, school and youth groups, religious organizations, civic clubs, business employees, and many other types of groups are welcome! If you are not already part of an organized group but have at least 5 interested volunteers, you can form a new volunteer group! Contact Tucson Clean & Beautiful staff to assist with your group project in one or more of the following project areas:
