Adopt-A-Road

Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful proudly administers the Adopt-A-Road Program for Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa. This program provides a meaningful opportunity for individuals, corporations, and community groups to contribute to the betterment of our community by adopting and caring for public right-of-ways, parks, and shorelines.

Participation in the Adopt-A-Road Program significantly enhances the appearance of our communities while playing a critical role in preventing litter and debris from entering waterways and polluting the natural habitats of our native wildlife.
