Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful Returns with a Fresh Vision
ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. – The Rockdale County Board of Commissioners is proud to announce the reactivation of the Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful Advisory Council (KCRB), a citizen-led initiative dedicated to enhancing the appearance, health, and environmental stewardship of our community.
After being inactive for several years, KCRB is officially back in action as of early 2025. The Council consists of citizens appointed by both the City of Conyers and Rockdale County Board of Commissioners, working in partnership with local departments, businesses, and residents to create a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable Rockdale.
KCRB’s Mission and Impact
The mission of KCRB is to engage the community in initiatives that improve the quality of life through beautification, litter prevention, recycling, and environmental education. Past efforts of the Council have included:
- Hosting County-wide Shredding Days to promote recycling and protect against identity theft.
- Organizing Rivers Alive clean-ups and other litter-prevention campaigns.
- Coordinating beautification projects at local parks, gateways, and neighborhoods.
- Partnering with schools, businesses, and civic groups to encourage environmental awareness and volunteerism.
A Community Partnership
Commissioner Tuwanya Smith emphasized the importance of KCRB’s return:
“The Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful Council represents the heart of what makes Rockdale strong—our residents, businesses, and local government coming together to make our community cleaner, greener, and more welcoming. Its reactivation ensures that these efforts will once again have a strong, organized presence.”
Opportunities to Get Involved
KCRB meets on the second Monday of each month at 6 p.m. at the C.E. Steele Community Center, located at 1040 Oakland Ave SE, Conyers, GA, and welcomes all interested community members to participate in meetings and upcoming events. Volunteers and sponsors are encouraged to support ongoing projects, and residents can stay updated through Rockdale County’s official channels.
About KCRB
The Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful Advisory Council is a certified affiliate of the Keep Georgia Beautiful Foundation and part of the national Keep America Beautiful network. The Council’s work is rooted in the belief that lasting change happens when people are empowered to take ownership of their environment and community.
