Volunteers looking for a more regular service commitment can participate in Keep Omaha Beautiful’s Adopt-a-Spot program.

Keep Omaha Beautiful empowers individuals, groups, and organizations to make an impact in our community by committing to a one-year adoption agreement. Registration for the annual Adopt-a-Spot season occurs in the spring.

KOB Adopt-a-Spot locations can include: a stream, trail, neighborhood or corridor, bus stop(s), a grouping of storm drain inlets, or a school or business campus. Adopt-a-Spot partners are asked to commit to the following:

  • Perform a litter cleanup in your spot at least once a month between March-October, including the surrounding storm drains
  • Submit an online reporting form to Keep Omaha Beautiful after each cleanup
  • Act as the eyes of the spot. If you notice any issues like new graffiti, illegal dumping, etc., please include this in your reporting form
  • Care for the storm drains in your area and report any broken or clogged drains to the Omaha Mayor's Hotline 
  • Optional, additional activities can include sweeping sidewalks or parking lots, raking leaves, picking up branches, etc.

Please note: The City of Omaha’s Parks & Recreation department has a similar program for adopting park locations. Visit the Adopt-a-Park page if you are interested adopting a public park.
