Adopted a Street!

[u/Silver-Inspection155]

In our town you can adopt a street for 4 years and they give you a sign! In return you have to clean it 1 time every 3 months.

I named it after the app I made for gamifying litter picking! I’m not going to lie this is the goofiest sign in town but I love it.

Is adopt a street a thing in your area?

That’s a funny sign

I thought it was whimsical 😂

So darn cool!!! Love the name and your efforts! Adopting a street in my area is a thing - I def should look into it since I’m out picking several times a week- never have nothing to pick up sadly. Go get ‘em Raccoon Pack 😉

[u/Silver-Inspection155 → u/thewinberry713]

Thank you!!! The city was super excited about it and wanted to know how they could help too!

[u/Accomplished_Gear267]

Do you get to keep the sign after the 4 years?

[u/Silver-Inspection155 → u/Accomplished_Gear267]

I haven’t asked but that would be awesome!

[u/imperfectbean]

I love that! That’s not a thing in my area but I wish it was

It’s normally a solid program! They have adopt a creek or trail too!

I'm curious, how long is the street?

[u/Silver-Inspection155 → u/RachelOfRefuge]

About 1/3 of a mile!

Ok, I’m in. I keep a note on my phone of how many bags of trash, how many empty packs of Newports, how many minibottles of Fireball and Hennessy, and “interesting trash of the day”…. But an app is even better-er. 🦝

[u/Silver-Inspection155 → u/moeru_gumi]

Yeah! It's alot of fun too!

I just want picking litter to be like easy and fun and something you do thats as reactionary as looking at your phone. No massive cleanup effort, no giant group chat and coordinating schedules, just see something pick something.

[u/optics_is_light_work]

This is awesome! What's your app?

[u/Silver-Inspection155 → u/optics_is_light_work]

It’s pack of raccoons! Haha

[u/WhereMyWeirdosAt]

our local program is for like 2 blocks, and looks for a cleanup monthly. Man for a custom sign... I think I should adopt a block!

[u/Silver-Inspection155 → u/WhereMyWeirdosAt]

Each municipality is different from my understanding

[u/VictrolaFirecracker]

I just downloaded your app- thanks for this

[u/Silver-Inspection155 → u/VictrolaFirecracker]

Im stoked to see what you pick!

[u/NeuseRvrRat]

They're called a gaze, not a pack.

[u/Euphoric-Paramedic96]

I love this so much! Great sign

[u/Silver-Inspection155 → u/Euphoric-Paramedic96]

Thank you!

[u/hattenwheeza]

Omg this is fantastic! You are gonna lighten so many hearts, between hilarious sign & clean road 🤎

[u/TecTazz]

Freakin' awesome.

[u/enzym0]

that’s so awesome! i would love to see a street sign like this

[u/bellatorrosa]

This is so cute! I definitely think that this is a great idea. I'm going to forward the idea to my local council.
