Volunteers looking for a more regular service commitment can participate in Keep Omaha Beautiful’s Adopt-a-Spot program.
KOB Volunteers cover adopted areas such as: streams, trails, neighborhoods, corridors, bus stops, or school and business campuses. Volunteers can be an individual or part of a group. Registration for the Adopt-a-Spot season occurs in the spring.
Volunteers and groups that adopt a spot are provided with litter cleanup supplies and asked to do the following:
- Agree to an adoption commitment from March to October
- Perform a litter cleanup at least once a month
- Submit an online reporting form to Keep Omaha Beautiful after each cleanup
- Act as the eyes of the location, keeping an eye out for graffiti, illegal dumping, etc.
- Optional, additional activities can include sweeping sidewalks and parking lots, raking leaves, picking up branches, etc.
Please note: The City of Omaha’s Parks & Recreation department has a similar program for adopting park locations. Visit the Adopt-a-Park page if you are interested adopting a public park.
