Adopt-a-Road Program
The Adopt-A-Road Program is an anti-litter campaign intended to promote a volunteer spirit and community pride in the City of Sikeston. It allows citizens, organizations and church or civic groups to work in partnership with the City by"adopting"a segment of roadway and agreeing to keep it clean. This program offers individuals and groups a way to contribute to their community and generate publicity for their efforts. Every participant in this program makes a positive impact on the appearance of their streets and their community. Together we can make a difference and be "Sikeston Proud"!
EQUIPMENT
Safety rules are important to protect participants during cleanup events. Rules that volunteers must follow include:
- Wearing safety vests at all times.
- Placing a “Volunteer Litter Crew Ahead” warning sign facing traffic ahead of the work area.
- Cleaning only one side of the road at a time and facing oncoming traffic.
- Refraining from wearing headphones while working.
- Wearing appropriate clothing, namely pants, thick-soled shoes or boots, and gloves.
- Performing cleanup activities during daylight hours and when weather has good visibility.
