Keep Australia Beautiful (KAB) provides leadership in the field of litter prevention and reduction by helping to change the attitudes and behaviours of the community.

KAB oversees the operation of a number of programs related to community education, enforcement, encouraging and rewarding sustainable behaviour change, as well as strategic policy.

These programs include Tidy Towns, Litter Report Scheme, KAB Week, the WA Litter Prevention Taskforce and implementation of the Litter Prevention Strategy for Western Australia.

KAB administers WA's Litter Act 1979 and is responsible for enforcement of litter and illegal dumping fines and for recommending and influencing legislation and regulations that improve and protect the environment.
