Plano Cleanup

Plano's Adopt-A-Highway (AAH) Program provides local homeowner associations, businesses, civic organizations, churches and schools the opportunity to make an impact on the cleanliness and appearance of our community.By accepting the responsibility and leadership of the assigned roadway, your group is not only increasing awareness of litter issues and the impact of beautification efforts but also demonstrating a positive behavior of local pride and ownership of Plano.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Knights of Columbus Council 7850 has been an active participant in this program since September 1987.Our Knights engage in this community cleanup effort on a bimonthly basis along Spring Creek Pkwy between Independence Pkwy and Custer Road, as well as Custer Road between Spring Creek Pkwy and Parker Road.Each leg is about one mile and it normally takes one hour for a team of Knights to pick up the trash for each street, including the medians.

The cleanup campaign started on Saturday, October 15^th at 0700 when volunteers reported for duty on the south side of the Faith Formation Center. All enjoyed fresh-brewed coffee, orange juice, bottled water, donuts and/or kolaches before suiting up with high-visibility vests, gloves, trash stick and bag to commence operations at around 0730.Upon completion of mission and return to the FFC, volunteers resume consumption of snacks before being released o/a 0900, sometimes later based on available volunteers.
