Roadside litter is unfortunate; we wish folks would dispose of trash the right way. The “Adopt A Street” program allows a resident or organization to claim a street and help clean up litter.
Adopted streets receive signs that credit their adoptees. The program is a great outlet for civic pride and community service.
Cleaning up litter helps beautify Lakewood and protects the environment. We invite interested groups to apply: simply return the application to [email protected]
Forms for current Adopt-A-Street participants:

The City of Lakewood Adopt-A-Street program is for volunteers who donate their time to help keep the City of Lakewood clean. Participants are advised that working adjacent to a street or in a park can be hazardous. Participants shall exercise proper care in performing litter collection activities. Participants are required to wear the safety vest and recommend safety hats and gloves provided by the City of Lakewood. We recommend you also wear appropriate protective clothing such as long pants, a long sleeve shirt and thick-soled boots or shoes.
