Volunteer: City of Morgantown's Adopt a Street Clean Up Program

The City of Morgantown has announced the launch of its Adopt-A-Street program, a collaborative initiative between the Engineering and Public Works and Development Services departments.

The program is focused on maintaining clean and beautiful streets throughout the city. This initiative invites volunteers, organizations, and businesses to take an active role in maintaining Morgantown communities. To participate, interested groups or individuals must submit an affidavit confirming their commitment to the program.

Upon approval, a sign will be installed along the adopted street, displaying the adopter's name. To qualify for a sign, adopters must complete a minimum of four cleanups each year. It is important to note that the program pertains only to rights-of-way maintained by the City of Morgantown.

Guidelines for Participants:

- Trash Bags and Safety Gear: Volunteers are responsible for providing their own trash bags. It is recommended that participants wear gloves and safety vests. Traffic safety vests can be borrowed from the City of Morgantown's new tool lending library, named the Morgantown Tool Outreach Toolbox (MO.T.O) by calling 304-241-3116, and can be picked up at the City Garage located at 200 M-Tec Drive, Morgantown, WV 26501.

- Litter Removal: Volunteers are tasked with removing litter from the public right-of-way. Any hazardous or unsightly conditions on private property should be reported to the Development Services Department – Building Permits and Code Enforcement Division by using Morgantown's 311 mobile app.

- Garbage Disposal: Bagged, nonhazardous garbage may be left curbside along the adopted street. To arrange for collection, the Public Works Department should be contacted at 304-291-7465, ideally 1-2 days prior to the cleanup.

- Activity Reporting: After completing a cleanup, participants should report their activity to Community Development Services Coordinator Caitlyn Lewis at clewis@morgantownwv.gov.

Additionally, adopters must renew their adopted street annually each fall and updated information should be submitted to the city by the end of September each year. Organizations, businesses, and individuals can apply using the City of Morgantown's 311 mobile app.
