The Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Adopt-A-Block Programs are volunteer-based initiatives that envisions a cleaner, healthier, litter-free City. The idea behind Adopt-A-Block is to encourage active community engagement and promote proper waste disposal while building neighbourhood relationships in pursuit of keeping Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows beautiful! Volunteer members of Adopt-A-Block commit to taking responsibility for the state of the City by ‘adopting’ an area in their neighbourhood. This involves collecting small amounts of litter on a monthly basis for one year in the designated adopted area. The Adopt-a-Block Coordinator hosts clean up events all over Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows throughout the year. If you know of an area than needs a little TLC please email adoptablock@alouetteriver.org to arrange an event in your area.
