Adopt-A-Spot

Have you noticed an increase in litter around your local park or trail?

Tukwila Parks and Recreation needs your help to keep open spaces clean and green! Consider adopting a spot by committing to pitching in to pick up litter in your favorite parks.

Adopt-A-Spot is a year around a partnership between Tukwila Parks and Recreation and residents, community groups, and businesses to help beautify Tukwila’s parks and trails.

What does a cleanup look like?

Once you have adopted a spot, participated in a quick training, and received supplies, then your project can begin.

Volunteers can set their own schedules for cleaning up.
Cleanups can be as casual as a weekly stroll through the park. The work is focused on litter however, depending on the volunteer, light landscaping or restoration is an option.
All collected litter can be put in the trash cans onsite or in a designated area.
There is a short data collection for the work but otherwise, it is that simple to make a difference.

Tukwila Parks and Recreation will provide:

Gloves, trash pickers, and bags
Signage posted onsite thanking you, your business, or your group.

Volunteer commitment:

Safety during cleanups
Four cleanups a year
One-year (or longer) commitment
Complete a short report after each cleanup

Not ready to adopt-a-spot but want to join a community cleanup event?
