Adopt A Road

The Adopt-A-Road Program encourages homeowners, businesses, civic, youth, and nonprofit organizations to adopt their road for monthly litter control. Ideally, the selected road is in their neighborhood, or has a mix of both residential and commercial property.

Adopt-A-Road allows citizens to demonstrate community pride, make a positive statement for a clean, attractive community, and help keep Edisto litter free. We at Keep Edisto Beautiful hope this program will be highly effective in the community, by demonstrating a personal responsibility along with a new attitude regarding littering. Duties include…

• Make a commitment to do a cleanup at least once a month, following safety rules.

• Be responsible for disposing of collected litter properly.

• Monthly data reports stating the number of bags collected, weight of each bag, and length of time spent collecting LITTER.
