City Seeks Sponsors to Help Clean & Beautify Through Adopt-A-Street Program

Posted 04/26/06

In an effort to free its streets of debris and present an attractive scenery for residents and visitors, the City of Moline is seeking groups to participate in its Adopt-A-Street program. The Adopt-A-Street program encourages civic, nonprofit or private groups to take pride in their hometown by helping to keep city streets litter free. Individuals, families and neighborhood organizations are encouraged to participate.

Groups are asked to “adopt” a one-mile area for a two year period and to hold collection days at least four times per year. The City will post signs bearing each group’s name or acronym at the beginning and end of the adopted area.

Sponsoring groups are provided with orange safety vests to wear during all collection times in designated adoption areas. Trash bags are provided. The City will pick up the trash once collected.

There are several Moline streets currently available for adoption. For more information on how to adopt-a-street, call Jan Patterson, Public Works Department, at 309-797-0780. An Adopt-A-Street application is also available by clicking here.

In honor of Earth Day 2006, the City of Moline is encouraging all current Adopt-A-Street sponsors to schedule a clean-up day as soon as possible.
