Keep Lake Dallas Beautiful (KLDB) is a proud affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful, an organization with a mission to educate and engage Texans to take responsibility for improving their community environment through programming and education addressing 3 focus areas including:

Waterway Litter Response Team

Did you know Lake Dallas, and much of the surrounding area, is part of the Lake Lewisville watershed? This means that all rain and runoff in our City will eventually lead to the lake. The less litter and debris entering Lake Dallas' creeks and waterways means less litter and debris entering our lake. 

Want to be a part of the solution in cleaning up our waterways? Join our Waterway Litter Response Team by contacting Daniel Rusnak, drusnak@lakedallas.com.

Adopt-A-Spot 

The Adopt-a-Spot Program is part of Keep Lake Dallas Beautiful. It’s a program focused on both litter abatement and beautification. Families, along with service and civic organizations, have adopted parks and stretches of roadway throughout the city accepting the goal to keep those areas beautiful and free of litter.
