The adoption requires a commitment of a minimum of four cleanups per year over a two-year period. There is no cost to apply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In recognition of the cleanup efforts, the City will\u00a0produce and install street signs on adopted street segments crediting participants for their commitment to beautifying the roadway and the community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cKeeping our local streets free of trash and debris is essential for public health and safety and serving as economic engines that attract businesses,\u201d Streets and Maintenance Department Director Randy Garcia said. \u201cTeaming up with the community will allow us to further reduce litter on El Paso streets and make it a better place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The pilot program is modeled after successful efforts in other cities across the country and supports the City\u2019s goal to \u201cimprove the visual impression of gateways, corridors, and major streets,\u201d the City said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It also reinforces the shared responsibility between the City government and the community to maintain and enhance public spaces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Program information, including guidelines, the application process, and an interactive map of available street segments, will be shared on a new City webpage currently in development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The City will share an update once the webpage is ready, giving residents a simple way to learn more and get involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
