Let's Work Together to Keep Franklin Beautiful! 

The Town of Franklin encourages you to join with us in our Adopt-A-Street initiative.  The program is for any business, civic group, church or private resident.  By participating in the Adopt-A-Street program, you can make a valuable contribution to the town... you can make the Town of Franklin better and more beautiful.  You can also save money since removing litter is an expensive proposition for you and other taxpaying citizens. 

To adopt a street, participants agree to pick up litter for at least one year.  For those who adopt a street for three or more years, a sign with your name on it will be placed along the street or road that you identify as your chosen location.  You will also receive appropriate traffic vests, trash bags and trash grabbers to assist you with safety while you keep the roadside clean.

To sign up for the program, you must complete an application.   The application can be filled out and submitted online.       

The Town of Franklin will work with participants to ensure that you are recognized for your contributions for making and keeping Franklin clean and beautiful.
