KBB's Mission
Keep Brazos Beautiful Inc. (KBB) mission is to educate and engage Brazos County citizens to keep our community clean, green, and beautiful.

KBB's Vision
We were founded on the ideal that a clean and beautiful community helps to improve the economic vitality, health, safety, and quality of life for everyone. Our programs center on educating and building partnerships and volunteer opportunities with citizens, civic organizations, businesses, and governmental agencies, to eliminate litter, minimize waste, recycle, and improve our community's appearance with the natural beauty of trees, flowers, landscaping, and green spaces.

Keeping Brazos County clean, green and beautiful should be the concern of every homeowner, business owner, resident and visitor to our community. Please volunteer or join us as a member.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;

indeed it's the only thing that ever has.

The Texas Computer Equipment Recycling Program, created by Texas Commission of Environmental Quality, is a program that allows the consumers to recycle their old desktops, laptops, monitors, keyboards, and computer mice free of charge. If you are looking to recycle a computer product, please look at the manufacturer's information on the table below.

State law requires manufacturers that offer for sale or sell new computer equipment in or into Texas to offer consumers a free recycling program and be on the TCEQ list of computer-equipment manufacturers. Please read this information about the list of computer-equipment manufacturers.

• Certain manufacturers own more than one brand of computer equipment. The list includes the names of manufacturers and the brands of equipment they own as reported in their recovery plans to the TCEQ.
• Manufacturers are only required to collect and recycle computer equipment purchased by individuals primarily for personal or home-business use.
• Commercial, government, and nonprofit customers should check with their manufacturers, local retailers, and local charities to see what options are available to them for upgrading, donating, refurbishing, or recycling used computer equipment.
• Manufacturers are only required to collect and recycle their own brands of computer equipment, not brands owned by other manufacturers. Nonetheless, some manufacturers may choose to offer recycling for brands other than their own.
• If you own computer equipment with no brand name or made under a brand name that is not listed, you can check the manufacturers' Web sites to see which manufacturers will accept other brands.

Texas Commission On Environmental Quality Website

You can begin reserving your appliance rebates either by phone or online for qualified replacements.

You must replace an older appliance for a new, energy-efficient model to receive a mail-in rebate. You can qualify for up to two different appliance rebates from the eligible appliance list on back. The Texas Trade Up Appliance Rebate Program will also offer an additional incentive to recycle old appliances.

Check out http://texaspowerfulsmart.com/rebate/ for more information!

So if you are interested, start bringing your items to the nearest recycling facilities. You may even see some small change for your appliances at a metal recycling center!

If you have BTU and plan to buy a new HVAC or solar hot water heater you can double your savings by applying for their rebates as well:
