Adopt-A-Road Program

The Adopt-A-Road Program gives local volunteers a chance to help keep City roads clean and litter-free.

Individuals and groups can adopt a section of road and help with litter cleanups. The City will install a sign along the road to recognize your group for its efforts.


Program Details

Volunteer groups agree to:

  • Clean up their adopted road section twice a year (once in the spring and once in the fall)
  • Take part in the program for three years
  • Sign a waiver before each cleanup
  • Give the City at least two days' notice before each cleanup

Note: Groups must be registered before holding their first cleanup. Please allow up to 10 business days for new applications to be processed.

The City provides:

  • Garbage bags for each cleanup
  • Free disposal of collected waste after the spring and fall cleanups
  • A recognition sign along your adopted road.
