Adopt-A-Street

The City of Lincoln’s Adopt-A-Street program is part of a litter reduction campaign designed to remove litter and debris from city streets and improve the quality of our environment.

About the Program

There is no fee to adopt a street.
Any organization or business in Lincoln can apply.
All participants agree to pick up litter from a segment of a street for a period of one year.
Litter must be picked up at least quarterly.
The City will install and maintain a sign at each end of the adopted area bearing the name of the sponsoring organization.
The program is designed to operate with a minimum of red tape and minimal supervision by the City of Lincoln.
There is an annual renewal if you would like to adopt the same street or choose a different street to adopt.
Clean-up for certain streets will require coordination with Streets department regarding mowing schedule. For more information, please contact the Adopt-A-Street Coordinator.

A certificate of general liability insurance in which the City is named as an Additional Insured
