About the Program
Various persons, groups and municipalities throughout the County have expressed an interest in beautification through litter removal from certain sites within Palm Beach County rights-of-way. By direction of the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, the focus on such an effort is an Adopt-A-Road program coordinated and directed by the Department of Engineering and Public Works.
The basics of the Palm Beach County Adopt-A-Road program are:
-
A community group adopts a minimum of a one mile segment of a County road which the group agrees to pick up litter at least four times a year for a two year period.
-
The County in return provides the group with safety training, safety equipment and trash bags for the litter.
-
The County erects recognition signs on each end of the group's length of County road. The signs identify the group doing the litter pick-up.
-
The County collects the litter bags for disposal at the end of each clean-up exercise.
-
The benefits to both the County and the groups involved are a litter free, attractive County and recognition for the group through the signs and attendant publicity.
