Adopt a Street or Trail Program
City of Fruita - Adopt a Street/Trail Program Overview and Background
Program Background
The City of Fruita’s Adopt-A-Street/Trail program allows local families, businesses, and community groups to perform a valuable community service by adopting a section of a City of Fruita street or trail to keep clear of litter and debris. The program will also foster civic pride, help beautify the City, and encourage greater participation in the City’s affairs. The Fruita Adopt-A-Street/Trail program was created by the Fruita Livability Commission, a group that aims to influence and improve the health and quality of life for those in the Fruita Community.
Eligibility
Any local group that demonstrates sufficient ability and is willing to take on the responsibility of adopting a street for at least one year, is eligible for this program. Groups who successfully participate have the opportunity to be recognized by the City Council and have an Adopt-a-Street sign identifying the group posted along the adopted roadway or trail. After the one-year term, the group may also be allowed to continue the adoption of the street on a year-by-year basis.
The City of Fruita’s Public Works Department and Parks and Recreation Department has developed a list of adoptable streets and trails that meet safety and location criteria. Not all street or trail segments in Fruita are available for adoption, due to potential safety concerns.
How To Participate
The application process is simple, and there is no cost to participate. Groups are required to adopt a street or trail segment and commit to cleaning up that section two – four times a year. Once accepted into the program and a specific street or trail has been adopted, the City of Fruita will provide trash bags, gloves, and safety vests to the volunteers. Additionally, the City of Fruita will pick up the trash following the clean-up event. Volunteers of the program are encouraged to work with City staff to coordinate a date and time that works best for the volunteers and staff.
Why Participate?
- The Adopt a Street/Trail program helps keep Fruita clean and beautiful!
- It helps saves taxpayer funds.
- Allows groups to work together to better their environment and the community.
Thank you to all the Adopt-A-Street/Trail Volunteers who are doing their part to help keep Fruita clean and beautiful!
