Pottstown Residents Invited to Join

Adopt-a-Trashcan Program

Hobart’s Run is encouraging residents and businesses across Pottstown to take part in its Adopt-a-Trashcan program, an initiative aimed at reducing litter and fostering neighborhood pride.

The program offers free, durable trashcans—branded with the Hobart’s Run logo—to residents throughout the borough. Each bin is delivered directly to the adopter’s home or business and includes a weight to keep it secure. Participants are responsible for monitoring their can, replacing liners, and placing bagged trash out for weekly collection. Organizers say the presence of the bins has already led to noticeable declines in litter on local streets.

The opportunity is not limited to Hobart’s Run’s focus area. Any Pottstown resident can request a bin, and a map is available to help households determine whether their block might benefit from adoption.

Local businesses, civic groups, and private citizens are also invited to sponsor bins, which cost the organization about $200 each. Sponsors receive recognition on the bins themselves and through Hobart’s Run’s social media platforms. Discounts are available for sponsoring multiple cans.

Through the program, Hobart’s Run hopes to expand its network of “litter-busting bins,” making Pottstown’s streets cleaner and more welcoming for all.
