YOU can help instill a sense of pride in their local community by working together with KPCB to keep Polk County’s roadways litter free!

We are excited to announce the expansion of our Adopt-A-Road Program to now include the City of Winter Haven AND the City of Bartow!!

The basics of the Adopt-A-Road program are:

• COUNTY Roadways- A group adopts a minimum of a one mile stretch of both sides of a county road and agrees to pick up litter at least EIGHT times a year for a two-year period.
• CITY Roadways – A group agrees to adopt both sides of an entire stretch of city roadway. If the roadway exceeds one mile, the group may elect to adopt a one-mile section or the entire available stretch.
• The group agrees to submit a Wrap-Up Report including a copy of the group’s signed Liability Waiver after each cleanup.

In return, Keep Polk County Beautiful and the Polk County Board of County Commissioners:

• Provide equipment, trash bags, and trash pickup.
• Erect recognition signs within adopted roadways to identify the group doing the litter pickup.
• Provide disposal of collected roadside litter.

Adopting a road will reinforce the importance of litter control.  This Litter Prevention Program targets litter and illegal dumping throughout unincorporated communities.

The benefits to this program are a litter-free, more attractive community, recognition signs for the group, and a feeling that the individuals involved are making a difference in their community.

The best part is, this program is FREE to you!   Make a difference, Be the difference, Volunteer!!
