Adopt-A-Spot

What is Adopt-A-Spot?

The Adopt-A-Street program is a litter reduction campaign designed to remove debris and litter from city streets. The city-wide program takes the Don’t Mess With Texas Adopt-A-Highway program to the local level.

Why Adopt-A-Spot?

Clean streets encourage neighborhood pride and increase property values.

People litter less if there is no litter around.

One of the first things visitors notice when entering a community is the level of cleanliness.

It prevents trash and litter from entering our watershed.
