If I don't want to adopt a street how can I help?
We encourage property owners to consider picking up trash/litter along the public way near their homes. If this is an activity that you would like to consider, please call us at 772-871-5103 so that we can provide you with safety requirements for conducting this activity. We would also like to recognize your neighborhood efforts by registering you in our program.

Is there a cost to participate in the Adopt-a-Street program?
All that is needed is your time and willingness to conduct litter cleanups at least 12 times a year. Office of Solid Waste will provide you with the litter tongs, trash bags, safety vest, training, and pickup service in order to dispose of the collected waste.
What do I do with the trash/litter picked up?
After completing your cleanup, please fill out a Litter Removal Form. If you need the city to pick up the trash bags, just check the appropriate box on the form. Pickup will be arranged upon submission.
How often will I be required to clean the street that I'm considering for adoption?
We ask that Adopt-a-Street litter cleanups be conducted at least twelve times a year. We encourage litter collection as frequently as possible.
How do I find out what streets are available for adoption?
KPSLB staff can assist you with the search and identification of an acceptable location for adoption. Call us at 772-871-5103 for assistance.
What is required to qualify an adopted street?
It is recommended that one mile of street be considered for adoption. This helps to reduce the annual cost of manufacturing and maintaining the signs that are posted along the roadway.
