Volunteers who want a year-long service commitment can join the Keep Omaha Beautiful Adopt-a-Spot program and hold monthly litter cleanups at a selected location.
Registration happens in the spring, with cleanups occuring March through October.
Adopt-a-Spot partners are asked to commit to the following:
- Perform a litter cleanup in your spot at least once a month between March-October, including the surrounding storm drains
- Submit an online reporting form to Keep Omaha Beautiful after each cleanup
- Act as the eyes of the spot. If you notice any issues like new graffiti, illegal dumping, etc., please include this in your reporting form
- Care for the storm drains in your area and report any broken or clogged drains to the Omaha Mayor's Hotline
- Optional, additional activities can include sweeping sidewalks or parking lots, raking leaves, picking up branches, etc.
