Businesses, civic groups, and churches are encouraged to adopt a section of
road by clearing litter from the right-of-way at least four times a year. In
exchange for this community service, the name of the business or group
will be placed on a street sign at the site, similar to the Ridgefield
Adopt-a-Street sign shown at right. The City supplies safety vests and
Adopt-a-Street signs, and will pick up litter that has been collected upon
notification.

contract. Before you get started, you will need to submit
the signed contract and selected a road that is suitable for adoption.
Most residential streets do not qualify because the homeowners along the
street tend to pick up the litter. City streets that are commercial,
industrial, or forested are the best bet. At this time we are not
including state highways such as Bridgeport Ave, Rt 110 or Rt 108 because
the State does pick them up from time to time.
