Welcome to Jefferson County, Florida.
Jefferson County is located in the heart of "the other Florida," the Florida of rolling hills and stately oaks draped in wispy Spanish moss. Situated in the state's Panhandle, it is the only county that extends from Georgia on the north to the Gulf of Mexico on the south. Known as the "Keystone County," it is approximately mid-way between Jacksonville, Florida's northern-most Atlantic port and Pensacola, one of her largest Gulf ports. Monticello, the county's seat of government, is just 23 miles east of Florida's capital city of Tallahassee, and is fast becoming one of that thriving city's favorite "bedroom communities."

ADOPT-A-ROAD
BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION NOT THE PROBLEM!
HELP YOUR COMMUNITY
You have a role to play in preventing litter. It takes just one person, one school, one business, one organization to positively impact the behavior of others in their community. Now’s the time to get educated.
The Adopt-A-Road program offers an opportunity to contribute toward a cleaner, "greener" environment.
It would be ideal if people did not litter at all. This is an opportunity to have your children understand the problem by seeing the impact of litter on the road and by being proud to keep their community clean.
It helps our maintenance crews’ work on the larger projects, and helps taxpayers save money.
We are looking for volunteers. Are you interested in helping to keep your community clean? Find out how to participate in this successful and rewarding volunteer litter control program. Once accepted, groups get bragging rights with a commemorative sign bearing their name along the roadway segment.
Do be positive and give us a call, you could have your name on an Adopt-A-Road sign and show your pride in your community. Be the one person and let's get started.
You will have a 2 mile segment of road or if a road is less than 2 miles you may adopt a minimum of 1 mile of a road. Roads will be adopted for a minimum of 2 years. Once expired the agreement will need to be renewed. Litter pickup will be performed a minimum of 4 times per year.
