About the program

What is Adopt-A-Street?

Keep Austin Beautiful launched the Adopt-a-Street program as a way to help keep our streets clean and litter-free. Adopting groups take care of roads and surrounding public spaces throughout Austin, picking up trash along their adopted street segment.

What being an Adopt-A-Street partner entails

Adopting groups receive free cleanup supplies, project guidance, and trash collection services from Keep Austin Beautiful. As part of an adopting group, you are required to:

  • Adopt at least 1/2 a mile within the City of Austin for two years
  • Host four cleanups a year along the adopted segment (one of which will be in April to coincide with Keep Austin Beautiful Day)
  • Submit reports about each cleanup
  • Pay the Adopt-a-Street yearly sponsorship fee


Adopt-A-Street is for groups only – individuals are not eligible to adopt a street segment. Annual adoption sponsorships are based on the type of organization adopting and are a minimum two-year commitment:

  • $125 per year ($250 total): community groups or nonprofit
  • $750 per year ($1,500 total): small businesses (fewer than 100 employees)
  • $1,500 per year ($3,000 total): large businesses (100 or more employees)
