While most household debris is collected curbside, other areas-such as road right-of- ways and vacant lots tend to collect unsightly, unsanitary debris that will continue to accumulate if not cleaned. Adopt-A-Spot groups can also conduct beautification projects in their area to compliment their cleanup efforts. Administered by the SWA's Customer Information Services Department (CIS), the Adopt-A-Spot program is one in which any size group can participate. Making a difference in the environment through Adopt-A-Spot is one of the most rewarding volunteer efforts available! Here is what SWA will do: Provide trash bags and gloves for every cleanup. Provide t-shirts annually to group members. Provide training and litter abatement education. Recognize your group at an annual appreciation luncheon.  What you need to do: Complete the online form . Commit to clean or beautify your area no less than four times per year. Enlist the support of as many volunteers as possible. Ask them to come prepared with water, a hat and protective clothing. Take Pride in Your Community by Organizing a Neighborhood Cleanup! Make Your Community Clean & Litter Free! Pa g e 1of 2 Litter Abatement and Communit y S 3/24/2011 htt p ://swa.or g /site/ille g al _dum p in g /ado p t _a _s p ot.htm Consider having a centralized location where group members can take water breaks or possibly join in a picnic or cookout following the cleanup. Return data to the SWA following cleanup. Community Service Programs The SWA provides recycled paint to groups to assist in beautification efforts within their communities. Community service hours are available as well. To be part of a positive, rewarding program and make a difference in your community, please complete the online form or contact us . Along with several governmental agencies, including the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office , Palm Beach County Code Enforcement , and Palm Beach County Road and Bridge , the SWA partners with a variety of non-profit agencies to promote a safer, cleaner environment through cleanup, beautification and education projects. These entities include Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful , Paint Your Heart Out Palm Beach County , and Rebuilding Together of the Palm Beaches . For more information on litter abatement and community service programs, contact CIS at (561) 697-2700 or 1-866-SWA-INFO (toll-free from western and southern Palm Beach County) or simply email us .
