Join more than 300 active volunteer groups cleaning up nearly 200 miles of city streets. The mission of the Adopt-A-Street program is to promote civic responsibility, community pride and enhance Seattle’s quality of life through clean streets and beautiful neighborhoods. Since its launch in the 1980s, this program has gained national prominence as one of the most effective and efficient grassroots litter-removal initiatives.
As an Adopt-A-Street volunteer, you will receive:
- Clean up supplies (for loan during the duration of volunteer service)
- Delivery and pick-up of supplies
- Safety equipment
- Garbage pick-up (if needed)
- Educational resources
