Adopt- A- Spot
Madisonville
Sometimes all it takes is one person to help keep Madisonville clean.
You can be that one person by adopting your very own spot!
Are you interested in Adopting A Spot?
Check out the map link below to find available Adopt-A-Spots in Madisonville. Once you've found one that suits you, please review the guidelines and complete the application form.
Whether you're an individual or part of a business/organization, you're welcome to participate. The goal of Madisonville's Adopt-A-Spot program is to enhance the environment and appearance of our community. It encourages individuals, organizations, and businesses to adopt public areas in the city and maintain them.
Sites vary in size, from large areas suitable for group sponsorship to smaller spots manageable by individuals.
