Adopt-A-Cemetery
The Adopt-A-Cemetery program is a cooperative effort between the city, our residents, business owners, clubs, and organizations to keep our cemeteries clean and beautiful. Interested parties may adopt one or more cemeteries in Grand Prairie.
There are 15 cemeteries in Grand Prairie, many of which are home to historical markers from the Texas Historical Commission or the Grand Prairie Historical Commission. Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful assists in keeping some of these cemeteries beautiful through our Adopt-A-Cemetery Program. An Adopt-A-Cemetery event generally includes picking up litter and fallen branches.
Please join us to help keep our cemeteries litter free!
Adopt-A-Stream
The Trinity River and its tributaries run through Grand Prairie, providing habitat for our native wildlife and recreation through fishing and boating opportunities. Unfortunately, these streams can become polluted with litter. The majority of this litter is made up of plastic bottles, plastic bags, and Styrofoam. This litter is called 'floatables' because the majority of it floats on the surface of the water creating an eyesore for the community. You can do your part by not littering and by assisting with stream cleanups during the stream cleanup season which runs from mid-October through mid-March each year.
Adopt-A-Street
The Adopt-A-Street program is a cooperative effort between the city, residents, business owners, clubs, and organizations to keep right-of-ways and neighborhoods clean and beautiful.
Interested parties may adopt one or more sections of roadway in Grand Prairie. Groups adopting a 1/2 mile or longer section are eligible for a set of two signs, one on either end of the section, to display their name. Groups adopting a shorter section, such as in front of their home, school or business, are eligible to have their name included on the KGPB Adopt-A-Street web page.
An adoption lasts two years, with each year ending on March 8th . Renewals will take place on March 9th in observance of International Adopt-A-Highway Day. Volunteers are asked to clean their street four times per year but are only required to turn in three cleanup reports.
For more information, visit the Adopt-a-Street webpage. To sign up, contact Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful Coordinator Amanda Lindbergh by phone at 972-237-8152 or via email at kgpb@gptx.org.
Community Garden Program
The Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful Community Garden program offers Grand Prairie residents and employees an opportunity to grow their own vegetables and develop their gardening skills. Seasonal Garden Gatherings are a great time to meet your fellow Community Gardeners! These gatherings focus on a variety of topics to help your garden thrive.
Compost is very import to the Community Garden program as it provides necessary nutrients for your plants to grow. Compost 101 is offered four times per year so that you can learn the basics of creating your own 'black gold.' The Master Composter class is held twice per year, once in the spring and once in the fall.
Opportunities are also available for volunteers who do not wish to be assigned a bed but would rather assist an entire garden with making compost or preparing beds.
Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful Commission
The Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful Commission is made up of 9 members that support the goals of Keep Grand Prairie Beautiful. Appointees are selected in July each year and as vacancies occur. A separate application is required to serve on a board or commission and is submitted to the City Secretary.
Members may be appointed by their City Council Member for a duration of two years.
