Adopt-A-Road Program

The Adopt-A-Road Program is a litter-reduction campaign designed to remove litter from county roads and improve the quality of the environment. The program establishes a partnership between volunteer groups and the County's Traffic Engineering Division. The program's success has improved the appearance of local roadways throughout the County while reducing the cost of litter removal. The County provides guidance and equipment to foster safe and effective cleanups and the volunteers do the work of gathering the litter along County-designated roads (residential and private roadways are not adoptable). County maintenance crews follow-up by picking up and disposing the collected trash. Volunteer groups contract to "adopt" a one mile stretch of road and commit to performing 4 clean-ups per year within that 1-mile segment. For more information contact the IRC Traffic Engineering (772) 226-1637 or traffic@ircgov.com.

Adopt a Canal or Shoreline

Are you or your HOA/POA interested in committing to cleaning a canal and/or shore 4 times per year? If so, contact Keep Indian River Beautiful's Executive Director at keepirbeautiful@gmail.com 772-226-7738. If the canal/shore is available you will receive a two-year contract - there is no cost, and all supplies are provided by Keep Indian River Beautiful (KIRB). You or your group will be asked to maintain a data sheet with volunteer hours and the amount of collected garbage. To educate your neighbors on ways they can prevent water pollution, you can print and hang the following brochures on their doorknobs as part of the project: http://www.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/cu_door_hanger.pdf
