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.
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.

The Keep Australia Beautiful Council (KABC) of Western Australia which is the statutory authority responsible for these activities was formed in May 1970.
