Adopt-A-Street
Independence is a beautiful city. City street crews maintain 578 miles of streets year-round. Unfortunately, the best of care doesn’t stop people from littering our roadways. Citizens interested in maintaining Independence streets now have a way to help keep litter and trash off the streets.
The answer: volunteer to Adopt-A-Street in Independence.
Adopting a street is easy. The Municipal Services Department will provide your organization with:
- Signs at each end of the adopted roadway
- Safety information
- Safety vests
- Trash bags
- Adoption papers good for one year.
The objective of Adopt-A-Street is to generate public awareness of ways to improve the environment. Civic groups, businesses, scout troops, students, and individuals are invited to adopt sections of roadway for litter control.
