ADOPT-A-MILE PROGRAM (Cobb County Govt.)
American Assimilation Helpline! Inc. has been a proud supporter of the Cobb County Keep Cobb Beautiful Adopt-A-Mile program. AAH! has officially adopted about a mile of Indian Hills Parkway, Marietta GA-30068. Clean-ups are held at every quarter first Sunday. It’s not glamorous work, but it’s great to see our neighborhood clean and neat. And each time we clean up our mile, there seems to be less trash to collect, so we are confident that we are making a difference. AAH! Adopt a mile program is an excellent way for groups to work together to keep Cobb beautiful. Cobb County has been reputed as one of the most attractive communities in the Southeast. Let’s preserve this attribute!
What to Expect
-
Usually, it takes less than an hour for volunteers to pick up the trash that has accumulated and collect the orange bags in a central location for the county to pick up.
-
Bags, latex gloves, and safety vests are provided.
-
Covid-19 precautions are observed! We provide masks and we keep our distance.
-
Wear sturdy shoes or boots and bring gloves if you’d rather not use the latex gloves we provide.
-
Children under 13 are not allowed on the cleanups for safety reasons. Children 13 and over must be accompanied by an adult.
