Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Green Business Partner?

Green Business Partners put environmental best practices into action in four categories:

  1. Recycling and Reducing Waste
  2. Energy Efficiency
  3. Environmental Stewardship
  4. Community Engagement

The basic commitment for all partners is to engage in sustainable practices to maintain their areas free of litter and to reduce future litter by controlling sources, like ensuring trash cans and dumpsters remain closed. Beyond this initial commitment, many of our partners adopt multiple sustainable practices such as: reducing landfill waste, increasing recycling, practicing water conservation, reducing energy consumption, donating items to charity, and participating in Earth Day, to name a few.

How does it work? 

 Interested businesses can register using the link on the webpage. After you sign up, staff will schedule a site visit, walk through the checklist with you, and document your green efforts. The team will then review the checklist, approve your application, and deliver your Green Business Partners decal. 
Once you’re a partner, you can share any new or updated green practices by emailing KFWB@FortWorthTexas.gov

What is the checklist? 

During the site visit, Keep Fort Worth Beautiful staff and your team will review the checklist together. The checklist(PDF, 270KB) is not a set of requirements—it’s a guide designed to spark ideas and capture the ways your business supports a cleaner, greener environment, such as reducing waste, preventing litter, or promoting sustainability. It’s simply an opportunity to share what you’re already doing. 

Are there minimum requirements for the checklist? 

No. The Green Business Partners program recognizes and encourages environmentally conscious practices.
