Adopt-A-Highway

 

Any interested group of people can volunteer to keep a section of roadway at least two miles long clear of litter with regular cleanups.

A group can be any size. We have groups ranging from 1 person up to 40+ people.

The Adopt-A-Highway Program gives local citizens an opportunity to help keep roads and highways clean by adopting a two-mile section on any county road. 

• Any interested group of people can volunteer to participate in regular cleanups to keep our Roadways clear of litter.
  
• The volunteer organizations promise to clean the road at least four times a year for two years.
  
• All cleanups must be reported to our office.
  
• The County will pick up the special trash bags when notified the cleanup is complete.
  
• The Solid Waste Management Division provides Safety signs to be used during cleanup activities, bright orange vests and gloves for volunteers to wear, safety information and special trash bags.
  
• The County puts up a sign designating the roadway as adopted and naming the group that has promised to keep the roadside clean.
  
• The County provides worker’s compensation insurance.

State roads, Hwy. 19, Hwy. 41, Hwy. 44, and Hwy. 200 are handled by FDOT.
