Roadside litter, left unchecked, becomes more than an eyesore. It begins to erode the value of the surrounding area. Like a magnet, litter draws more litter until an area becomes blighted by people who do not properly dispose of trash. Litter reduction is a positive action that each of us can do. Volunteers in Keep Martin Beautiful’s Adopt-A-Road program work to show our community that each of us can reduce litter and make our county a better place to live.

Litter: People do it.
People can stop it.

KMB’s Adopt-A-Road program offers businesses, civic groups, school groups, places of worship, families and individuals the opportunity to adopt a minimum one mile section of county-maintained roadside for the purpose of litter reduction. Teams make a commitment to remove litter along their adopted area at least six times a year. KMB will provide safety vests, trash bags, and pick-up sticks. Teams determine the cleanup schedule based on their availability and preference.
