Keep Mead Beautiful: Embrace-a-PLACE

The Town of Mead offers a community outreach program called Embrace-A-PLACE. This program is a joint effort between our town government and residents to keep our right-of-ways and neighborhoods clean and beautiful. The mission for the program is to empower the citizens of Mead in the areas of litter prevention, recycling, waste reduction, beautification and community improvement.

The Embrace-A-PLACE program provides individuals, civic organizations, businesses and others with an opportunity to help beautify their community by volunteering their services to collect litter alongside Mead’s streets and trails.

By participating in the Embrace-A-PLACE program, community groups, businesses and individuals help the Town of Mead reallocate funds, time and manpower to other much-needed programs and projects, which could include trail improvement projects, road upgrading and maintenance, and much more.

Why Volunteer?

• Creates an easy way for individuals/groups to help the community by reducing litter cleanup, saving taxpayers money.

• Helps build community and group pride by increasing our public awareness of environmental concerns.
