Adopt-a-Street
WHAT IS ADOPT-A-STREET?
KAB’s Adopt-a-Street program gives local groups the opportunity to help keep Austin beautiful by collecting litter and beautifying streets in the community.
WHY ADOPT-A-STREET?
It's an easy way for groups to help the community
It makes a visible impact on the local environment
It helps build community and group pride
It reduces litter cleanup costs and saves taxpayers money
IT'S EASY!
Groups adopt at least 1/2 a mile within the City of Austin for 2 years
Groups agree to have at least 4 cleanups per year
Groups pay a one time fee of $152 to have the Adopt-a-Street sign produced and installed
As an Adopt-a-Street group you will receive:
Guidance planning your cleanups
An Adoption Packet that includes: a first aid kit, three Team KAB t-shirts, KAB decals, hand sanitizer and sunscreen
FREE Cleanup Kits (for each cleanup you will recieve a kit that contains: bags, gloves, litter pick-up tools and giveaway items as available)
Trash collection arranged by KAB
A REALLY cool street sign!
