As a part of Keep Frisco Beautiful, Adopt-A-Street is a wonderful opportunity to teach others about citizenship, improve your community, and have a great time! The Adopt-a-Street program provides teams of all kinds: families, clubs, co-workers, and civic organizations, the opportunity to help beautify their community by volunteering to collect litter alongside Frisco streets. It's an easy way for groups to help the community, prevent pollution, and receive recognition for their work. Litter is unsightly and costly to tax payers. Volunteering for liter pick-up builds community and group pride, visibly improves your local environment, and saves tax payer money!
How Does Adopt-A-Street Work?
Teams agree to maintain a one mile stretch of roadway (in both directions and the median) for one year. Contracts are automatically renewed for teams in good standing. To resign your adopted street, email the Adopt-A-Street coordinator.
Teams are conducting four cleanups annually (required).
1st quarter cleanup: January 1 to March 31
2nd quarter cleanup: May 1 to June 30
If a team participates in Clean It & Green It (April 22, 2023) Stream Clean (October 14, 2023) or other community cleanups, this would satisfy the requirement for their quarterly cleanup.
3rd quarter cleanup: July 1 to September 30
4th quarter cleanup: October 1 to December 31
Teams that have completed their first year of cleanups that are no longer interested or able to participate in Adopt-A-Street can notify the coordinator to relinquish their adopted street and make it available for a new team.
Reporting forms and waivers are attached to your team’s supply bag. Prior to every cleanup, volunteers must sign the liability waiver (those under 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign).
Within one week of completing a cleanup, teams must return their supplies and Reporting Form(PDF).
