Adopt a Road, Park, HART Shelter, Shoreline, Monofilament Tube or Watergoat
Adoptions
Adopt-A-Road
Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful administers the Adopt-A-Road Program for Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa. The Adopt-A-Road Program is a great opportunity for individuals, corporations or groups to give back to the community through stewardship of public right-of-ways, parks and shorelines.
Adoptions greatly enhance the appearance of our communities and go a long way in reducing litter and debris from entering our waterways and polluting the natural habitats of our native wildlife.
Types of Adoptions
Adopt-A-Road: A minimum of a one mile stretch of right-of-way
Adopt-A-Park: County and City Parks are available and projects can include litter removal and beautification
Adopt-A-Shoreline: A stretch of accessible shoreline, piers or waterway
Adopt-A-Monofilament Tube: Monofilament tubes at boat ramps and fishing piers
Adopt-A-WATERGOAT: Removal of the collection of litter and debris that washes in from nearby storm drains from surrounding neighborhood streets
Adopt-A-HART Shelter: Adoptees will be responsible for monthly cleaning of the bus shelter of their choice (Requirements and more information below!)
