Adopt-A-Street

Here’s what you need to do

• Identify a street (3 blocks or more) that you want to adopt. The number of volunteers participating in your adopting group may determine the length of street you wish to adopt, but you must choose a minimum of 3 blocks.
• Mail a completed application to Adopt A Street Program, 701 W. Markham St., #218, Little Rock, AR 72201 or email a scanned copy to GHaley@littlerock.gov. You can also call the Adopt-A-Street Coordinator, Glenn Haley, at 501-371-4537.
• Be safe and follow our set of rules. Adopters wear safety vests when picking up trash along city streets and children under certain ages must be accompanied by adults. We provide rules and guidelines to you for ensuring participation remains safe, fun, and rewarding for everyone.
• Pick up litter and other trash at least 6 times per year. A good rule of thumb is to pick up trash along your adopted street every two months. Of course, you can pick up trash as often as you like! Certain neighborhood streets have special needs and we welcome your suggestions for ways to improve your street and your experience in the program.
• Tell us about the positive impact you are making! Every three months (or as often as you want), send us the information about the number of volunteers, bags of trash, and dates you picked up litter along your adopted street during the quarter.

Here’s what we provide

• Public Works provides a priority list of streets available to adopt  STREETS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 2-7-23 If your street is not on the list, ask the Adopt-A-Street Coordinator if yours can be added by calling 501-371-4537 or send an email to GHaley@littlerock.gov. The Adopt-A-Street program is responsible for final approval of all selections.
  

Here’s what you get

• Clean and safe streets. Participating in the Adopt-A-Street program improves the safety and condition of our city streets for not just you and your family but your neighbors and visitors, too.
• Pride of ownership. Being a good steward of your adopted street provides almost instant gratification. The results can be seen almost immediately. Bystanders and local drivers can see the positive impact you are having not just on the street but on their quality of life.
• Public/private partnership. Adopting volunteers, KLRB, and the City of Little Rock are partners in keeping Little Rock beautiful. None of it would be possible without YOU.
• Recognition signs and certificates. After six months in the program picking up trash along your adopted street, Public Works will install a sign. The sign recognizes your group’s contributions to a cleaner, litter-free Little Rock. Thereafter, your continued, active participation is recognized with a Certificate of Recognition every year.
