Adopt a County Road - Adopt a section of road in unincorporated Arapahoe County to keep it clear of litter and debris.The County will foster a safe and effective cleanup by providing each group with guidance and equipment, including safety vests and collection bags. County
maintenance crews will handle picking up and disposing of collected trash. Roadside signs with the name of your volunteer group will be strategically placed along the stretch of road that you adopt, and will alert motorists when a litter cleanup is underway.This is an opportunity to make a visible and immediate impact on the look and feel of the corridors that bring residents and
visitors through the County. For more information, please call Mar-Lee Gross at 720-874-7623.
