Adopt-a-Street or Park

The Adopt‑a‑Street or Park program invites residents, businesses, schools and organizations to take pride in public spaces by committing to regular litter cleanups of streets, spots or parks.

Volunteers play a vital role in keeping PSL clean by removing litter before it enters our stormwater system and protecting wetlands, lakes and rivers. More than 90 volunteer groups already help maintain 175 out of the 925 roadway miles throughout the City.

Volunteer groups are recognized with an official sign posted in the adopted area, celebrating their ongoing contributions to the community.

Volunteers commit to collecting litter at least once a month (12 times a year).

The City provides the supplies and services free of charge:

  • Litter grabbers, trash bags, buckets or litter loops
  • Safety shirts and training
  • Disposal of collected litter when requested

Frequently asked questions

Is there a cost to participate?

No, there’s no cost to join. The City provides everything you need for free — litter grabbers, trash bags, safety shirts, training and pickup of the collected trash.

What do I do with the trash or litter I collect?

After each cleanup, complete a Litter Removal Form. If you need the City to pick up your filled trash bags, simply check the box on the form requesting pickup. Our team will schedule collection based on your submission.

How often must I clean my adopted area?

At least once a month, but more frequently is encouraged.

How do I know what areas are available for adoption?

KPSLB staff can help find available locations for adoption. Call 772-871-5103 to get started.

How long should my adopted street be?

We recommend adopting a 1-mile section of roadway. This length helps manage sign production and maintenance costs while still making a meaningful impact in keeping our streets clean.
