Adopt-An-Area Program
 
 

Program Basics

  • Keep Columbus Beautiful (KCB) promotes the Adopt-An-Area program for the City of Columbus.

  • Any city alley, street, median, interchange, or public sector property may be adopted.

  • Groups, businesses, churches, schools, families or individuals may adopt an area.

  • Groups adopting an area need to clean the area at least 3 times each year.

  • KCB supplies groups with trash bags, gloves, and tools (on loan) to assist their efforts.

  • After the 3rd cleanup, the city will install a sign acknowledging the group adopting the area.

Benefits of Adoption

  • Adopting an area promotes a cleaner, more livable neighborhood and gives YOU an active role!

  • You give your group positive attention for the valuable service you perform!

  • You help the City of Columbus save tax dollars by volunteering to clean up!  In 2005, over 8,000 volunteers donated over 28,700 hours of their time for cleanups and beautification projects, amounting to over $290,000 saved!  

Show your Columbus Pride and join today!
