Keep Hot Springs Beautiful

KHSB is a South Dakota based 501(c)3 non profit organization made up of volunteers who have been hard at work keeping Hot Springs beautiful since 2006.

Our mission is to stimulate community pride and increase individual responsibility in beautification and litter reduction through environmental education and programs.

Upcoming Events:

KHSB has not one but two events coming up on Saturday May 3rd. Our 18th Annual Great American Cleanup returns as part of a larger volunteer campaign from Keep America Beautiful which sees over 300,000 volunteers working to clean up their hometowns the first Saturday in May every year.

That same Saturday will also see the return of the Super Recycling Event! Residents can bring appliances, electronics, metal, Christmas lights and more to be donated and recycled by our partners at Pacific Steel. A fee will be charged for any item that needs freon removal or tagging. To learn more about what can and cannot be accepted at SRE, visit the recycling program page of our website.
