Businesses, civic groups, and churches are encouraged to adopt a section of
road by clearing litter from the right-of-way at least four times a year. In
exchange for this community service, the name of the business or group
will be placed on a street sign at the site, similar to the Ridgefield
Adopt-a-Street sign shown at right. The City supplies safety vests and
Adopt-a-Street signs free of charge, and will cart away litter that has been collected upon
notification.
How to Adopt-a-Street:
1. See our
map showing streets we would like to see adopted, and
streets that have already been adopted.
2.
Download the Adopt-a-Street
contract. Before you get started, you will need to submit
the signed contract and selected a road that is suitable for adoption.
Most residential streets do not qualify because the homeowners along the
street tend to pick up the litter. City streets that are commercial,
industrial, or forested are the best bet. At this time we are not
including state highways such as Bridgeport Ave, Rt 110 or Rt 108 because
the State does pick them up from time to time. Mail the form to the address
shown on the contract.
Starting in 2013, we are also encouraging our Adopters to
record
each cleanup via a brief online form (
click
here), including how much was picked up. This gives us a
better idea of how much litter is being collected by volunteers around the
city.
