OUR MISSION
Educating youth, engaging leadership and empowering communities to sustain a cleaner Memphis.
OUR VISION
Engaged Communities. Sustainable City. A Better Memphis.
OUR HISTORY
Clean Memphis was founded in 2008 to foster a cleaner and greener Memphis. We work to inspire Memphians to be environmental stewards grounded in civic responsibility. In 2020, Clean Memphis developed a strategic plan, using research from other peer cities, to build the beginning stages of a zero waste, circular economy in Memphis and Shelby County. We engage leadership with data to drive policy change that supports sustainability in Memphis, empower community leaders with resources and tools to beautify their neighborhoods, and implement comprehensive environmental education programs in schools and restaurants. Our goal is to build a more sustainable Memphis for all.
