Adopt-A-Programs

The Adopt-A-Program encourages individual responsibility for our environment through scheduled litter pick ups. Various volunteer programs include:

Highway: 2 mile section of arterial roadway to include both sides
Park
Spot: any public area that needs attention
Street: 1 mile residential street section to include both sides
Trail: 1 mile Section to include 5-10 ft on both sides
Waterway: at least 1/2 mile section of a local waterway
Landscape Maintenance: minimum of 300 sq. ft. with a submitted landscape plan

Individuals, families, groups, businesses and organizations are encouraged to adopt a section of the city for a two-year period with a minimum of six cleanups per year.

Learn more in the Adopt-A-Program brochure or make the commitment to adopt an area by completing an agreement.

Adoptees are required to complete a report card after each cleanup. The City furnishes the materials and supplies, and posts a sign indicating the name of the adopting person or group at their designated location.
