Offers businesses and civic groups an opportunity to show an interest in a cleaner community by selecting an area to maintain and beautify. Participation in the program is free. You may know of an area that is littered and needs the attention of your community. The Adopt-a-Road program maintains a list of the top 20 Sarasota County roads in need of adoption. There is a great variety of adoption possibilities. Call us and help our community by Adopting a Road, Park, Pond, Shore or Spot.
