Adopt a Road, Keep It Clean And Get Your Name on a Sign

You’ve probably seen the “Road Adopted by…” signs along Gwinnett County county roads. The name listed on the sign represents a business or organization that cares enough about the community to keep that section of roadside clean.

Through the Adopt-A-Road program, sponsored by Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful and the Gwinnett Department of Transportation, residents can help prevent littering and reduce the amount of trash and illegal signs along roadsides.

Here’s how to participate in the Adopt-A-Road program:

• Choose a road you and your group wish to adopt.
• Read the official Adopt-A-Road Agreement and contact Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful to confirm that you will maintain this location for at least 12 months with a minimum of four cleanups. This process has been streamlined to make each cleanup as hassle free and safe as possible by providing free trash bags, "Men Working" signs, and safety vests for your volunteer crew.
• After each cleanup, volunteers are encouraged to remove trash and dispose of it properly. Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful and the Gwinnett County Department of Transportation, will provide assistance for trash or debris that is too large or hazardous for the group to remove safely.
• Your efforts will be recognized through the placement of two signs placed on the adopted section of the roadway with the name of your group.
