Adopt-A-Street

Why Is Your Help Needed?

Litter on the ground gets picked up with the stormwater every time it rains and flows directly to our waterways. Adopt-A-Street allows citizens and businesses to demonstrate community pride, make a positive statement for a clean and attractive community, and have a better understanding of stormwater pollution.

Program Goals

• Prevent flooding due to litter clogging storm drains and ditches.
• Keep our surrounding environment, including stormwater inlets, clean and functional.
• Reduce litter along Oldsmar roadways while increasing beautification and community pride.
• Increase public awareness about public works infrastructure, stormwater management, and the environmental impacts of littering.

Program Basics

• Adopt an available roadway and agree to clean both sides of it at least quarterly.
• Two signs will be put up with your group’s name in either direction on your section of street.
• Schedule your cleanups, review the safety information, and complete the post-cleanup report.
