Environmental Tips
Adopt-a-Road/Adopt-a-Spot Program
The City of Montgomery and its Environmental Advisory Commission have worked together to develop an Adopt-A-Road/Adopt-A-Spot program which allows individuals, families, companies, businesses or organizations such as church congregations or civic organizations to adopt public areas. Areas as large as whole neighborhoods or as small as sections of roads can be adopted to be kept litter free. What a great way for residents of our city to contribute to our community!
If you or your group is interested, please call Susan Hamm at 792-8314 or complete the online form to request a packet containing more detailed information and an application to participate in this new program.

Products only become Green Seal certified after rigorous testing and evaluation.
