An easy way to adopt a road


Government adopt a road programs can be some what burdensome. EnviroCorps has come up with a Litter Free Roads program that addresses problems with the system and makes it easy for people to participate. EnviroCorps has assisted companies and individuals in adopting 18 sections of road. This lens will inform you how you can help keep them litter free or assist in adopting other road sections.

While this lens only deals with roads adopted on the Gig Harbor and Key Peninsulas in Washington State, it does set an example of how EnviroCorps zip code leaders in other areas could do the same thing.

Litter Free Roads sponsors and supporters needed

Feel good without volunteering your valuable time

Your support is needed It takes $150 to assure a section of road is picked up once. To adopt a road we need to pick it up at least every three months. A sponsor is needed to contribute $150 quarterly to meet the minimum requirements. Two road signs with sponsors name on them will be installed. LaborWorks temporary services or EnviroCorps volunteers do all the work.

Also if 5 supporters each contribute $10 a month or $120 a year we can adopt a section of road.

When making a contribution give us the number (#?) of the road section you would like to support or if it is simply a general Litter Free Roads program donation. The more support for a particular road section we have, the more often it will get picked up.

You can make a reoccurring monthly donation by clicking here NOW.

Thank you for your help.

Help Keep Ford Drive and 32nd Street Free of Litter

type=textEnviroCorps has adopt Ford Drive and 32nd Street on the Gig Harbor Peninsula, Washington State. Six hundred dollars is needed to adopt a road for one year. A two year commitment is needed. Several residents have made contributions and Squidoo LLC has contributed enough money that we are about to meet our goal. A volunteer has agreed to pick up the litter so we have now officially adopted this road section even thought we are a little short on funding.

You can help put us over the top by donating $10 a month now!

Volunteering your time with EnviroCorps

How to stay fit and trim and help your community

People have very busy lives these days and do not wish to make long term commitments. Most adopt a road programs require a 2 year commitment before the road can be officially adopted.

EnviroCorps has partnered with businesses and individuals that have sponsored the adoption of various road sections. They may or may not wish to volunteer their time to pick up the litter. EnviroCorps first choice is to ask volunteers to pick up the litter. If no volunteers can be found we utilize LaborWorks temporary services. When volunteers assist us, we have more funds to help expand our programs.

To see where and when we need volunteers go to this module.
