Many groups, businesses or schools have an interest in a specific neighborhood or project.  Contact KAB and we will help coordinate this with Solid Waste Services. KAB will provide trash bags, gloves, vests, and water. 

Adopt-A-Spot

Are you interested in making Abilene clean and proud?  Adopt-A-Spot is a great way for groups, businesses or individuals to designate an area they pledge to keep clean.  Your "Spot" can be a street, a creek, a neighborhood, a park, etc. 

Here is how it works:

• Pick a public location close to your home, office, or meeting place, or ask KAB to help you pick a spot.
• A sign with your group name will be placed in your area.
• Designate a leader, someone who is responsible for announcing cleanup dates, organizing volunteers, and getting the Adopt-a-Spot supplies from KAB.  Supplies include trash bags, reflective vests, grab-its, a KAB volunteer t-shirt, and other various items to help you Keep Abilene Beautiful!
• Get together to clean your area! You can remove litter and debris, plant trees and flowers, paint, etc.
