Why Recycle?
Keep Port Aransas Beautiful Recycling Projects

Keep Port Aransas Beautiful puts recycling as a top priority and works to educate people and businesses about the importance of following the four R’s… Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
SandFest
Each year thousands of people flock to the beaches of Port Aransas to witness and experience the art of sand sculpturing at the Port Aransas SandFest. Keep Port Aransas Beautiful teams up with the festival to promote recycling during this 3-day event, suppling volunteers, recycling containers and outreach materials. Thousands of aluminum cans and plastic bottles have been diverted from the landfill thanks to this partnership and program.
Sign up to help KPAB at Texas SandFest! We initiated aluminum recycling in 2017 and it has been very successful and is always FUN!
