Bellevue launches Adopt-A-Street program

Through Adopt-A-Street, community members and groups can help keep Bellevue streets litter-free.

A group of people in reflective yellow vests are grouped together, holding a sign with the a logo on it and text reading "City of Bellevue, keep Bellevue beautiful." Behind the group are high rise buildings and a man-made pond.

The “Adopt-A-Street” program is part of a larger incentive in Bellevue to help beautify the area.

As part of Keep Bellevue Beautiful, the City of Bellevue is launching their own Adopt-A-Street program in an effort to maintain its public areas’ safety and cleanliness.

In the past year, volunteers at Keep Bellevue Beautiful’s clean-up events have helped remove ~300 bags of litter from city streets. With Adopt-A-Street, the city hopes to be able to provide more tangible + accessible ways to keep that momentum going.

Bellevue residents, businesses, community groups, and more can participate in Adopt-A-Street by choosing a location + section of street via the program’s map feature.

When when adopting a street, volunteers make a commitment to pick up litter in the designated area at least four times per year, for a minimum of two years.

Don’t live in Bellevue? You can still be a litter go-getter — the City of Seattle also has an Adopt-A-Street program.
