Keeping our streets clean
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)
