Groups, individuals, families, businesses, friends: all doing their part to keep Asheville Clean and Green!

This year we'd like to expand the program by promoting it more prominently on our website, spreading the message by word of mouth and events, and posting on volunteer search websites.

For the volunteers:

You've done great work and we appreciate all that you do, and we believe that you actually did even more than was documented for this review.

Remember to call in or send us a feedback form when you do a clean-up on your road so that we can get have the most updated information on how Adopt-a-Street members are keeping Asheville clean.
