Adopt-A-Street

1 week ago

"You can help keep the City of Oldsmar stormwater system, roads, and waterways clean by joining the Adopt-A-Street program! This unique program provides opportunities for individuals, businesses, and other organizations to adopt a section of city-owned streets and to play an important role in the appearance and function of our city assets. Litter on the ground gets picked up with the stormwater every time it rains and flows directly to our waterways. The Oldsmar Adopt-A-Street Program allows citizens and businesses to demonstrate community pride, make a positive statement for a clean and attractive community, and have a better understanding of stormwater pollution. Prevent flooding due to litter clogging storm drains and ditches. Keep our surrounding environment, including stormwater inlets, clean and functional. Reduce litter along Oldsmar roadways while increasing beautification and community pride. Increase public awareness about public works infrastructure, stormwater management, and the environmental impacts of littering. Adopt an available roadway and agree to clean both sides of it at least quarterly. Two signs will be put up with your group’s name in either direction on your section of street. Schedule your cleanups, review the safety information, and complete the post-cleanup report. Contact Calley Pate by Emailing Calley Pate for a current list of available streets. Fill out the request form and return it via email or at City Hall, 100 State Street West, Oldsmar. Receive confirmation from Calley Pate that application has been accepted by the city. After your first clean-up, the city will create personalized signage and install it at the beginning and ending points along the adopted street reflecting your commitment. TIME PERIOD POUNDS OF DEBRIS COLLECTED (ESTIMATED) Jan-March 2026 56 pounds April-June 2026 56 pounds July-Sept 2026 Oct-Dec 2026"
