Adopt-A-Spot

Missouri City Green Adopt-A-Spot Program in conjunction with the City of Missouri City provides volunteers with a means to help keep our community a clean and beautiful place to live, work, and play.  Volunteers clean an adopted spot at least three times a year for two years, and in return, receive city-wide recognition for their efforts. In addition, volunteers have access to cleanup equipment and supplies and  you can report your cleanup results online. Being an Adopt-A-Spot volunteer gives participants an opportunity to give back to the community, teach their children about community responsibility, receive positive publicity for their business or organization and gain valuable community volunteer experience.

​The program is free and open to:
  • Residents & Families
  • Businesses
  • Organizations (e.g. Scout groups, clubs, neighborhood associations, student groups, civic groups, churches)

Program Guidelines:
  • Volunteer Safety is very important.  Please read all safety Instructions before volunteering and submit waiver form for your group.
  • Agree to adopt an assigned area for at least two years.
  • Agree to complete a minimum of 3 cleanups per year.
  • Once you have completed 3 cleanups, an Adopt-A-Spot sign with your group’s name will be placed at the site.
  • ​Groups must have an adult (over age 21) as the main contact person.
  • Youth Groups are required to have a minimum of one adult chaperone for every 10 youths.
  • Groups are required to submit a report and pictures after each cleanup.
  • Groups will be able to check out free kits with trash bags, gloves, trash grabbers, etc. to use during their cleanup events!  To schedule a time to check out a kit, please fill out the materials request form below.

Is there a list of available spots?
You are invited to request any location of any size that is within Missouri City and not currently adopted. Missouri City Green can help you select a location that is close to your home/school/business and is appropriate to the capabilities and size of your group.
Preference will be given to those places that appear neglected, but some suggestions include parks, trails, roads, and creek banks.

* Please note that all Adopt-A-Spot requests are subject to approval, and Missouri City Green reserves the right to prohibit any person and/or group's participation in the program.
