The Adopt-A-Street Program is a partnership between the City of Casa Grande and its citizens. This program helps build a civic pride within the community by beautifying our city streets, increasing safety, and decreasing litter and other pollutants through trash removal. The program enables community and civic organizations, private businesses and churches to participate directly in enhancing the overall appearance of the city. Participants are required to clean their selected area twice per calendar year. The City of Casa Grande provides safety vests, trash bags, and removal of full trash bags if areas are cleaned on the predetermined clean up dates. In exchange for your participation we post a sign on your designated mile announcing that your organization has adopted the mile. For more information or to adopt a street please contact the Parks and Recreation Office at (520) 421-8677 or visit our website www.casagrandeaz.gov.
