The Adopt-A-County Mile program is a litter abatement program that offers Montgomery County residents the opportunity to become active in reducing the tax dollars spent to clean county roadways. Roadway clean-up programs are a successful means for keeping roadways clean of litter and debris. Additionally, it is an excellent tool to promote civic involvement and community volunteerism. This program encourages participation from school and church organizations, local businesses, homeowner associations, and other groups interested in cleaning targeted stretches of county roadways in Precinct 4.

Participation in the Precinct 4 Adopt-A-County Mile Program does more than improve the aesthetics of area roadways. It also improves the cleanliness of area creeks, bayous, rivers, lakes, bays, and eventually, the Gulf of Mexico. Uncollected litter along roadways flow into area storm sewer systems and eventually discharge into these receiving waters.

How it works:

An interested organization or group must qualify and contract with Montgomery County for yearly increments of at least one year to clean a designated stretch of roadway. The location is based on a site determined by the organization or group within a targeted area of Precinct 4. Areas are usually one mile long, but exceptions are made for larger groups.

The participating organization or group is asked to clean their designated roadway at least once every three months. The organization coordinates clean-up times with Precinct 4 and the necessary equipment including safety vests and trash bags are provided.

Signs denoting the participating organization or group name are placed at both ends of the adopted roadway. The signs acknowledge the organizations or group’s participation in the program and their involvement in the community.
