Trash Dump Removal Resources
We’ve gathered resources to assist you with the challenges you might encounter in your neighborhood, including trash removal, illegal dumping, graffiti, and more. While AdoptOneBlock does not provide these services directly, we want to ensure you have access to the right tools and information from local sources to help you keep your block clean and welcoming.
Your efforts make a real difference, and we invite your feedback to make this resource list even more robust. If you know of additional services that could benefit other Block Ambassadors, please share them with us. This list is a work in progress, and we will continue to update it as more resources become available.
