Our Community Engagement program fosters a cleaner, more connected, and more resilient Memphis by uniting residents, businesses, and organizations to champion sustainability. We believe that empowering community leaders is the key to creating lasting change. In 2024, we expanded our community education efforts with workshops focused on the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We work hand-in-hand with a robust network of partners, including local community groups, government agencies, and businesses, to deliver programming and facilitate volunteer events. Through collaborative events like the River Roots Festival, which had over 300 attendees and a 90% waste diversion rate , and volunteer-led cleanups, we mobilize Memphians to take action and build a shared commitment to environmental sustainability for everyone.
