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 with a vision to foster a cleaner and greener Memphis, inspiring Memphians to become environmental stewards grounded in civic responsibility. In 2020, drawing on research from peer cities, we developed a strategic plan to spearhead the development of a zero-waste, circular economy in Memphis and Shelby County. We actively engage leadership with data to drive policy changes that support sustainability, empower community leaders with resources to beautify their neighborhoods, and implement comprehensive environmental education programs in schools and restaurants. Our overarching goal is to build a more sustainable and resilient Memphis for all.
