Since 2002, Carpinteria Beautiful’s Adopt-a-Spot volunteers have removed TONS of litter from around our little town. By regularly patrolling their chosen “Spots,” they’re able to eliminate unsightly, unhealthy trash from our streets, sidewalks and parks and keep it from washing into our creeks and ocean.
Many of your friends and neighbors are already part of this dedicated team. If you see them on the job, please thank them. If you can spare an hour or so a week, they’d love to have your help.
Consider Adopting a Spot Yourself
You can adopt your own Spot of Carpinteria. Do it as an individual or team up with a family member or friend. Teens can earn community service hours as Adopt-a-Spotters.
We’ll get you started on a route of your choice with a picker, safety vest and cap. It’s good exercise and we promise you’ll really clean up.
The Spots up for adoption are identified in GREEN below. You can also see the routes on this Google map. Or suggest your own route to adopt. Then, call us at 232-3560 or send email.
