Adopt-A- Road Program

KDB-Logo.jpg The Adopt-A-Road litter prevention initiative empowers volunteer groups, families, churches, service organizations, schools and businesses to show their pride in Douglasville by keeping their neighborhood litter-free street by street. It allows citizens to remove unsightly trash along the City of Douglasville right-of-ways while promoting a sense of civic responsibility and pride and contributing to overall community beautification.

The litter prevention efforts of the Adopt-A-Road Program can have an impact and benefit the community by helping:

  • Improve property values
  • Reduce litter-removal costs
  • Foster pride (people litter less in clean neighborhoods)
  • Convey monetary costs of littering through public awareness
  • Encourage greater civic involvement
