The KPB Team is officially leveling up to Certified Master Recycler status!

Today we kicked things off with an amazing tour of the North Gateway Transfer Station and a behind-the-scenes look at what REALLY happens to our stuff after it hits the bin. 👀

HUGE thank you to Alicia— City of Phoenix Public Works Department Zero Waste Team Member extraordinaire — 🌟— for giving us the inside scoop on the ins, outs, do’s, don’ts, and everything in between. 🌎

We thought we knew a lot about recycling...turns out there’s always so much more to learn. 🤓♻️

Master Recycler mode: officially activated! 🎓♻️💚

🌱 Some things really do come full circle...and this one makes us VERY happy. 💚

Back in 2020, we met Trevor and his adorable daughter/little sidekick, Mina, when they were gardeners at our Mountain View Community Garden. We handed them a microphone and said, “Tell us about being a gardener!” 🎤🌱

And they did—beautifully. 💚

Fast-forward to 2026... Trevor is officially a KPB’er! 🎉

We’re thrilled to welcome him as our new Pierson Street Community Garden Assistant, working alongside Mary Lu to help keep things growing, thriving, and beautiful. 🌻

And yes—Mina is still his adorable (just a little more grown-up!) garden sidekick.
🥹🌱

Welcome to the team, Trevor! We have a feeling lots of beautiful things are about to grow. 🌱✨

Some things really do come full circle...and some connections just keep growing.💚

🎨🌱 What do you get when you mix Garden Gail + three budding gardeners + a little creativity?

A garden masterpiece, of course! 💚✨

Ms. G.G. gave Lila, Maeve, & Goldie a brick to decorate for our garden pathway—and just LOOK at what these talented little artists created! 🌸☀️🎨

A little gardening, a little art, a little watermelon break 🍉...pretty much the perfect garden day.

We can't wait to add their masterpiece to the pathway—and see what these three create next! 🥰🌱

✨ KPB is kinda chic. Who knew? 😎🌱

Teaching kiddos about sustainability. Growing food for our neighbors. Biking to work. Making room for butterflies. Recycling ALL the things. ♻️🦋🚲🥕

Turns out, doing beautiful things in Phoenix has always been kinda chic. 💚

Because caring for our community—and our planet—never goes out of style. ✨

♻️💚 Wednesday!

Did you know that over the years, Keep Phoenix Beautiful has helped divert tons and tons of reusable and recyclable materials from our landfills? 🌎

This year, we're proud to celebrate the 15th season of I Recycle PHX! 🎉 What started as a community recycling event has grown into a Phoenix tradition—giving thousands of items a second life through recycling, reusing, and repurposing.

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible community, volunteers, partners, and participants for helping this event grow year after year. Together, we're making Phoenix cleaner, greener, and more sustainable. 🌵💚

Here's to 15 years of giving old items new life—and many more to come! ♻️✨
