ADOPT-A-ROAD

The Adopt-a-Road (AAR) program sponsored by Keep Forsyth County Beautiful enables citizens to demonstrate their community pride by removing unsightly litter that accumulates along our county roadways. Individuals or groups adopt a mile (or more) section of road which they clean-up on a quarterly basis. A minimum 2 year commitment is preferred. Supplies such as gloves, trash bags, and safety vests are provided by KFCB. 

Ideal for non-profit organizations, clubs, businesses, scout troops, schools, homeowner associations, or families. ​The AAR program directly benefits the community through litter reduction and prevention, greater civic involvement, and beautification.

Why adopt a road? ​

​

• It makes a visible positive impact on our local environment

• It helps build community pride

• It's an easy to organize group or team building activity

• It reduces county litter removal costs and saves taxpayers money

• Public recognition feels good. And encourages others to step-up​.

• It gets you outside and it's a great workout!

The 8 Easy Adopt-A-Road steps:

​

Step 1 - Review the Adopt-a-Road Rules & Safety.

Step 2 - Contact us regarding the road you’re interested in adopting. If your choice is not available or you don’t have a preference, we'll find you the road best suited for your group. 

Step 3 - Once the road is approved by KFCB, sign and return the completed Contract.

Step 4 - Conduct your 1st clean-up and send in a completed Status Report.

Step 5 - Conduct your 2nd clean-up (the next quarter) and send in a completed Status Report.

Step 6 - Once your group has completed your first 2 cleanups over 2 quarters (6 months), we will order your official Adopt-a-Road signs and place them on your roadway.

Step 7 - Maintain your roadway with at least one clean-up per quarter and submit status reports. 

Step 8 - Rejoice knowing you are making a difference, perhaps doing your happy dance! ​​​
