If you decide to join the Adopt-A-Stop Program, we want to express our gratitude for your contribution. Your support will assist Big Blue Bus (BBB) in keeping our stops safe, clean, and inviting for both BBB passengers and the communities we serve. Here are a few easy guidelines and tips for cleaning up our stops. What to AVOID: - Do NOT pick up any litter in the road or on the shoulder of the roadway. - Do NOT pick up and large or hazardous litter including object containing corrosive chemicals (e.g. car batteries, pesticides, etc), or objects that may carry harmful bacteria or disease (needles, dead animals, items with bodily fluid). - Contact BBB to clean up or coordinate the removal of hazardous materials. - Do NOT work in the dark or during inclement weather. - Do NOT try to pick up or move heavy objects. - Do NOT act as an official ambassador or employee of BBB or the City of Santa Monica. - Do NOT touch, disturb, or harass the private property of individuals at, near, or around BBB stops. If a BBB stop is found to be blocked, its pedestrian area impeded, or otherwise deemed inoperable due to the accumulation of an individual’s private belongings, contact BBB at joseph.santiago@santamonica.gov - DO stay away from any broken glass, razor blades, or other objects that might cause a cut or injury. - DO be aware of your surroundings, and do not wear headphones or take a call when cleaning a stop.
