How It Works

You clean up the linear block you love the most, when and how you want, with cleanup supplies we deliver to you for free. No Meetups, no commuting or scheduling to volunteer, no organizations to join, no fundraising. As an AdoptOneBlock volunteer (or as we like to say: Block Ambassador), we ask you to maintain your adopted linear block free of litter over the course of one year.

We suggest that each Block Ambassador cleans their adopted block weekly on the schedule that is most convenient for them. We are happy to provide a trash grabber, trash bags or bucket, gloves, graffiti removal kit, paint, and if necessary, Sharps medical containers - all FREE to make it super easy to help. Ordering free supplies is enabled upon completion of the block adoption.
