Adopt-a-Street: Year-Round
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 taxpayers. Volunteering for liter pick-up builds community and group pride, visibly improves your local environment, and saves taxpayer 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. Teams conduct four (4) 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 (spring), Stream Clean (fall) or other community cleanups, this will 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.
Current Adopt-A-Street Teams
Adopt-a-Street program is limiting cleanups to 15 persons per cleanup. To request supplies and schedule a cleanup please use the online form. 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).
One-Time Clean Ups: Year-Round
Recruit friends and family and partake in a one-time clean-up of your neighborhood or community. This is a great alternative to our Adopt-a-Street program. You can still make a great impact on your community with this short-term commitment. For location assignment and to pick up supplies, please complete an online application and then e-mail environmentalservices@friscotexas.gov.
Clean It & Green It - Spring
Households and individuals will be assigned their own cleanup locations. Day of registration will be available. Supply pickup is located at the Environmental Collection Center at 6616 Walnut Street.
