Adopt A Highway

Keep Carroll Beautiful's Adopt-A-Road program is modeled after the Department of Transportation's Adopt-A-Highway program. The Adopt-A-Road program consists of individuals, groups and businesses who volunteer at least 4 times a year to clean litter from the roadways. This is a volunteer based program; therefore, there are no charges to the participants.

If you were interested in adopting a mile you would need to:

Choose a mile to adopt. Sometimes people have a mile in mind that they wish to adopt while others choose from a list provided by Keep Carroll Beautiful.

• Recruit participants 12 years or older.
• Read and sign the attached agreement.
• Meet for a brief safety training with Keep Carroll Beautiful before your cleanup.
• Utilize parental consent forms and release of liability forms provided by Keep Carroll Beautiful.
• Participate in clean-ups at least 4 times per year.
• Monitor your mile between clean-ups.
• Report clean up results to Keep Carroll Beautiful.

In return, Keep Carroll Beautiful provides volunteers:

• A sign with the individual's or group's name at the designated mile Safety training for the group leader.
• Scheduling of quarterly clean-up events
• Annual recognition for the volunteer group
• High visibility safety vests
• Trash bags
• Gloves
• Litter pickers
• Pick up of filled trash bags on roadway

Please review the Adopt-A-Road agreement. If the adoption process does not seem right for you or your group; then, consider volunteering as you are able and help other Adopt-A-Road groups or individuals. The next scheduled litter pick-up will be in JANUARY AND MARCH 2010.

We hope that you will consider volunteering with us and look forward to hearing from you! If you have any questions, please call Jacqueline Dost at 678-890-2361.
