Free Saplings for Arbor Day
Dogwood and Persimmon Saplings Available
Each year, the Georgia Forestry Commission provides free tree saplings to organizations across the state to encourage people to plant a tree for Arbor Day! This year, National Arbor Day is April 25th, although the State of Georgia observes Arbor day the 3rd Friday in February, which lands on February 21st this year. This gives you plenty of time to participate! Stop by our office during regular business hours to grab your free Dogwood or Persimmon sapling while supplies last. We are here Mon-Fri from 11am-3pm. Hope to see you soon!
PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS
This is our oldest and most successful program! Become an Adopt-A-Road volunteer to help keep our roadsides clean.
KPB recognizes residents and businesses in our community who promote environmental responsibility.
We work with the County, local events, and businesses to reduce the waste headed to landfills by promoting recycling and reuse.
Pickens County is beautiful, and KPB is doing what we can to help keep it that way! Join us for some of our ongoing projects!
Whether it’s participating in a parade, offering kid-crafts at community events, or helping with festival recycling, we’re here to help!
Edible Pickens is part of our Beautification and Education initiatives. Check out the gardens throughout the community – Come lend a hand!
SIMPLY RECYCLE PROGRAM
Join the KPB Simply Recycling Program!
- Get stackable, convenient, portable recycling bins.

We want to help you recycle, simply.
Let’s all work together to reduce the trash headed to our landfills.
AAR Numbers Speak for Themselves!
Our AAR volunteers are the BEST!

We're looking for KPB's History
KPB is one of the oldest organizations in Pickens County with hundreds (or thousands?) of community members who have been involved throughout the years. KPB, originally Citizens for a Clean Community, has been serving Pickens County for more than 35 years! While we do have archives we’re continuing to search, we know there’s more ‘out there’ that should be included.
If you have photos, stories, or other details that can help us in our journey through time, please SHARE with us!
Join Us to Keep Pickens Beautiful
We support a wide array of projects and programs throughout our community, but we need your help so we can do more! We’re always looking for volunteers, corporate partners, Board of Directors members, and community members to get involved and help us grow. It is because of people like you that we have been able to accomplish so much throughout the years, but there is so much more that we can do if we work together!
