City of Cornwall

Show your civic pride by joining other volunteers who wish to achieve litter-free streets, sidewalks, parks, and waterfront spaces. 

Together, Adopt-A-Street volunteers create a positive milieu for everyone to enjoy. Volunteering is a healthy and rewarding activity!

The program is flexible - you can decide where and how often to pick up litter!

Volunteers can participate for as long as they want, but typically, clean up efforts take place during the spring, summer, and fall months.

The Adopt-A-Street program is open to all - individuals as well as teams from schools, workplaces, community organizations, family, friends and neighbours!   

The City of Cornwall provides the supplies and safety vests to assist in your efforts.

Getting involved is easy! Simply read and fill out the application form below, and visit the Benson Centre (until April 26) or the Cornwall Public Library (starting April 29) to pick up your kit. 

Check our Adopt-A-Street map to see locations that have already been adopted by groups and individuals!
