The City of Mill Creekâs Adopt-a-Street program is a way to encourage citizens to create a healthier and cleaner environment in our community by reducing litter. Participating groups include civic and nonprofit organizations, churches, schools, neighborhoods, businesses, and others.
Volunteer litter crews are assigned sections of streets to clean up litter at least once a month. They borrow special kits provided by the City to help pick up trash from the sidewalks and green spaces along designated streets.
Please note that volunteers ages 12-17 may participate, but must have at least one adult per 3 youths, plus a parental signature. Thank you for helping to keep Mill Creek a clean and beautiful place!
