MAKE it YOURS Program Guidelines

iLivehere is an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful and an environmental outreach program through the Waste Commission of Scott County. One element of the program is the adoption program, MAKE it YOURS. 

Guidelines:

• All MAKE it YOURS requests go through an approval process with the appropriate city before being accepted.
• Participating groups agree, at minimum, to a two-year commitment including two cleanups per year. Participating groups are welcome and encouraged to plan other beautification activities in addition to the cleanups.
• Participants must review all safety guidelines before each cleanup and beautification activity.
• Participants under the age of 18 must have adult supervision at all cleanup and beautification activities.
• iLivehere will provide bags, gloves, litter tongs, and safety vests upon request via the Cleanup Supply Request form.
• Participating groups must indicate if they will provide their own trash/recycling disposal or if they need the material collected by a waste hauler after each cleanup.
• Only garbage placed in iLivehere bags will be collected. Groups are encouraged to recycle as much as possible. iLivehere bags shall not be used for personal garbage.
• Prioritize safety by leaving any large (bulky waste) or hazardous materials encountered on site. Please inform Waste Commission of Scott County to arrange for safe and proper disposal by calling [phone].
• The participating group must report results after each cleanup via the Cleanup Results Report.
• Participating groups are encouraged to take before and after photos of their area as well as group photos. When emailed to iLivehere ([e-mail]), these photos may be used to promote the MAKE it YOURS program.
• A personalized sign (optional and upon approval) recognizing the group will be placed on site after the initial cleanup has been reported. Signs are placed and maintained by City Public Works crews and may not be possible in all areas.
• In the unlikely event that groups do not fulfill their commitment (i.e. caring for their area, reporting cleanups) the sign will be removed.
