Keep Alachua County Beautiful - Adopt-a-Street

Greetings from Keep Alachua County Beautiful (KACB),

With the closure of the 15th Annual Great American Cleanup, KACB witnessed a great turnout of environmentally concerned Alachua County residents.

At KACB we would like to provide local businesses, volunteers and residents with the opportunity to continue improving the local environment.

Adopt-A-Street is a great way for local organizations to assist in the care of our environment. This program was formed to help address the problem of roadside litter in our environment.

If you would like to get involved with Adopt -A-Street, or have any questions or concerns about the program, please contact Keep Alachua County Beautiful at 352-371-9444 or e-mail stacie.kacb@gmail.com. Please ask for Stacie Moss.
