Values
1. Integrity ~ know what’s right and do what’s right.

What all of that means
We dig in the dirt, we pick up trash, we try not to waste, and we encourage others to do the same.
Our words and our actions should create an environment that we can be proud of.

History
Keep Ennis Beautiful was established through an ordinance of the Ennis City Commission in February of 2018 and became an official affiliate of Keep Texas Beautiful in March of 2019. Since then, Keep Ennis Beautiful volunteers have donated countless volunteer hours to the betterment of our community.
