What is Adopt-A-Road?
The re-establishment of an Adopt-A-Road program will help to promote public involvement in reducing litter by allowing the community to assume responsibility for sections of the public right-of-way.
To learn more about an Adopt-A-Road program, contact your local Keep America Beautiful affiliate or your local Public Works office. (see top right of this page)Litter along our roads has reached an epidemic stage.
Litter clean-up has become a time-consuming and expensive operation for our governments (your tax dollars). Keep South Fulton Beautiful promotes all Adopt -A- Road programs.
Any civic-minded organization or individual can adopt a stretch of roadway. Unless strongly supervised, please do not let any young children work on the
roadsides.
• Select a stretch of roadway for your group to adopt - you may also sponsor other groups or fund litter clean-ups.
• Recruit and organize volunteers, and provide safety information.
• Provide supervision for volunteers 17 years of age and younger.
• Commit to clean up your road at least once per quarter, more often if needed.
• Place collected litter in tied bags for collection.
• Provide trash bags, safety vests, and gloves.
• Offer safety orientation.
• Post personalized sign on your adopted road.
