Welcome!

Keep Stockwell Beautiful began as the Stockwell Beautification Project in the spring of 2005. A group of community individuals with various backgrounds and interest formed the Board of Directors. This group has common interests of decreasing waste in our area and increasing the natural beauty of our town.

Through funding from the John and Ruby Parks Foundation, seed money enabled the organization to establish clean-up projects for the town. The success of “Tox Away Day, Bulky Trash Days” and recycling has netted over 400,000 pounds of trash from our community annually.

The group began pursuing recycling possibilities for the Lauramie Township area with the assistance of the Wildcat Solid Waste District and the County Commissioners. In March of 2006, the first recycling station in our area was opened. Residents continue to use this valuable resource free of cost.

In May of 2007, Keep Stockwell Beautiful became the smallest Affiliate of the Keep America Beautiful Organization in the world. The organization has over 600 Affiliates and Stockwell is the fourth in the state of Indiana. Several hours of hard work and dedication have been donated to accomplish this goal.

The project has been awarded funding for their fourth year of operation through the John and Ruby Parks Foundation. This funding will continue valuable services and enable more beautification projects to take occur.
