The Adopt a Spot program accommodates a wide array of volunteer interests and goals. Participants adopt public spaces and make a commitment to regularly clean and beautify the area for no less than one year.
Volunteer Activities:
- Planting/ pruning/ weeding (with pre-approval from Public Works staff)
- Application of artistic mosaics and murals on litter containers and utility boxes
- Litter pick-up
- Graffiti removal
- Keeping storm drains free of debris
Public Works supports volunteers by providing tools and supplies, debris pickup assistance, promotion, and technical assistance.
