The Adopt A Spot Program is developed to give volunteer groups, businesses and citizens of the town of Goffstown an opportunity to manage the cleanup of litter from adopted sections of Town maintained roads or properties. The program will allow for greater community involvement in keeping the Town free from litter. Signs will be used to recognize the responsible group.
