Love Where You Live
How Gadsden County is Helping you Love Where You Live
Gadsden County is working with our cities, community and civic groups and neighbors—people like you—to help keep our county clean and litter-free. We want you to love where you live, and one of the most basic things we can all do is to help keep our surroundings beautiful. That’s why we are revving up our county-wide programs for recycling, litter control, and volunteer opportunities such as Adopt-a-Road and Community Cleanups.
And that’s not who we are. Gadsden County is so naturally beautiful – with our rolling hills and rich farmlands to our serene lakes and fine rivers—we want to embrace this beauty, not spoil it. We know you love where you live, and we know how much pleasure we all take in welcoming our friends and families to our beautiful, historic county to enjoy it the way we do.
What is Adopt-a-Road? Adopt-a-Road is a program that empowers volunteer groups to keep their neighborhoods litter-free one street at a time. Residents volunteer to remove litter from an adopted street in their city four times a year for one year. (Streets are half-a-mile long or more.) Gadsden County provides organizational help, cleanup supplies, free disposal and recognition signs displaying the name of the group. A Group Leader coordinates cleanups between the group and the County. Adopt-a-Road is a collaboration between Gadsden County, participating cities and volunteer groups.
Adopt a RoadIs there a neighborhood where you live or work that needs cleaning? A nearby intersection? #LoveWhereYouLive is a community cleanup program where volunteers clean where they live. Our goal is to equip our community champions with resources to love where they live or work by organizing clean ups throughout the year.
