WAAY to be GREEN

Founded in 1977, Operation Green Team was originally known as the Huntsville Madison County Clean Community Office.  It is a city-funded organization governed by a volunteer board of directors.  This board meets monthly to plan strategies and projects aimed at accomplishing its goals and objectives, which center around education and beautification efforts, maintaining a sustained litter reduction, and improving waste handling practices in the community.   Operation Green Team endeavors to make Huntsville a role model for the state, region and Nation in terms of landscape beauty, cleanliness, and environmental consciousness

Operation Green Team is affiliated with Keep America Beautiful, Inc., which is a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving waste handling practices in American communities.  Through this affiliation, Operation Green Team is able to offer curricula that teach our youth how to manage the waste we produce, intelligently and responsibly.

Operation Green Team's Coordinator and mascots are available for appearances at schools, youth and organizational events, or corporate events.   Contact our office if you or your group would like to become part of the team.  

Remember Huntsville belongs to all of us, and it's up to all of us to Keep Huntsville beautiful.
