About the program:

The Keep Lewisville Beautiful Clean Stream Team program encourages citizen participation in beautification projects and litter clean-ups of designated public waterways  on a quarterly basis in the Lewisville community.  A spot could be a canal, creek, stream, lake shoreline, Trinity River shoreline, pond, etc. Individuals, organizations, and/or businesses may agree to keep a designated spot cleared of litter for a period of one year or more. All areas are subject to approval by KLB and the City of Lewisville. To adopt a location, you must live or work in Lewisville.
 
KLB partners with the City to approve locations. KLB will also provide free cleanup supplies to help maintain the adopted areas (appropriate to the size of your group) including: trash bags, cotton or plastic gloves, safety vests, and litter grabbers, and keep a yearly log of adopter's hours and bags of trash collected.
 
Most spots within the city limits that are not currently maintained by an adopter may be adopted, with special attention to those places that appear neglected and trash-ridden.  Please note that we are not able to install "Adopt-A-Spot" signs for the Clean Stream Team program due to creek beds and erosion. 
 
The Clean Stream Team program is a free community program. To help with program costs, KLB encourages participants to become Keep Lewisville Beautiful members at a level they are comfortable with.
