Adopt a Creek Information

Through the involvement of your business or organization in the Adopt-a-Creek volunteer program, you have the opportunity to make an impact on keeping our city beautiful and improving our local water quality.

The business or organization involved agrees to adopt a section of a creek and agrees to take action, on a volunteer basis, to control the stream bank litter problem by organizing a general bank side cleanup at least four times per year. The City of Plano provides litter sticks and trash bags and with pre-notification will arrange for the pickup of the litter collected at the site. The City of Plano will print and erect the Adopt-a-Creek signs at appropriate public locations near the adopted creek section.

A $35 participation fee is charged for the year. A $15 renewable participation fee is charged if the business or organization would like to continue adopting the creek for another year.

The funds raised through the fees are used to purchase new litter sticks and litter bags. Litter sticks and trash bags are available at Parkway Service Center, 4120 West Plano Parkway. It is preferable that you pre-arrange pick up of these items so availability can be assured.

If you are interested in the Adopt-a-Creek program, please contact the Casey Eckert at caseye@plano.gov or call (972) 769-4216.
