Adopt-a-Road Program

The concept of “adopting” an area provides opportunities to engage the public and businesses in your community in taking ownership of various sites to keep them clean and litter-free, with programs ranging from Adopt-a-Road to Adopt-a-Station. The City of Vineland runs multiple programs such as Adopt-a-Spot, Adopt-a-Neighborhood and Adopt-a-Block. These “Adopt-a-…” programs can be combined with mini-grants to offer groups an incentive to adopt a location. Examples with good ideas are provided below.
