Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful Earns a “High Five” for Best of Gwinnett

Environmentally Focused Nonprofit Recognized Among Area’s Top Charitable Organizations

For the fifth year in a row, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful (GC&B) has been honored as Best of Gwinnett in the Charitable Organization category. Chosen by a combination of readers’ votes and editors’ input, the nationally recognized Keep America Beautiful affiliate represented the only environmentally focused nonprofit on the list of local charities. Since its launch in 1980, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful has endeavored to build a following among local students, county residents, corporations, municipalities, civic organizations and a volunteer network that’s 100,000 Gwinnettians strong to aid in its environmental stewardship efforts throughout the county. The organization regularly engages citizens to reduce, reuse, and recycle; protect watersheds; pursue sustainable practices at home, school, and work; and clean, restore, and beautify public places.

Spanning more than 20 broad business and community sectors, the Best of Gwinnett process begins each March with a nomination on the award program website and concludes when voting ends on December 31. While not a scientific market research study, the award program vets readers opinions and tens of thousands of votes through several ranking sites, Better Business Bureau complaint reports, and voting pattern analysis reports before those receiving the most votes are deemed “Best of Gwinnett.” 

“We are truly grateful to Guide to Gwinnett for providing this platform, and to each and every person who cast a vote in our favor,” said Schelly Marlatt, Executive Director for Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. “It’s recognitions like this that tell us all our hard work within this community we love is getting noticed. Although we’ve been in the business of creating cleaner, greener, more livable communities throughout the county for more than 40 years, there is always more work to be done. We deeply value our many supporters and love our role of fostering an up-and coming generation of environmental stewards through our Green & Healthy Schools program and Green Youth Advisory Council. No matter the age of our advocates, together, we can ensure the health of Gwinnett’s air, water and soil for decades to come.” 

With a purpose of Connecting People and Resources for a Sustainable Gwinnett, Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and its expansive community-based support system remain dedicated to finding long-term solutions to environmental and quality of life issues through individual action. The organization is guided by a Citizens Advisory Board that represents all sectors of the Gwinnett County community. Each year, GC&B plays host to such popular events as Bring One for the Chipper treecycling event, Earth Day recycling event, Household Hazardous Waste collection days, Governor’s Environmental Address, Great Days of Service, Great Gwinnett Wetlands, America Recycles Day and more. Its year-round programs include Adopt-A-Stream, Adopt-A-Road, Great American Cleanup, Green & Healthy Schools, and Green Youth Advisory Council, among others.
