Adopt-a-Road

We incur the total cost of administering this programme. Your group can simply pick a County road that's available, attend a safety seminar and sign the agreement to participate. The Adopt-A-Road coordinator will bring your supplies to the safety seminar and you'll be ready to begin.  

We supply:

• The booklet "Safety Guidelines for Volunteers"
• Safety vests for all volunteers
• Garbage bags, flags, and traffic cones
• Someone to pick up flagged hazardous materials
• Someone to pick up filled trash bags at designated site

We also:

• Monitor to ensure the objectives of the programme are being met
• Approve the name, titles, or words placed on the ADOPT-A-ROAD signs
• Locate the road right-of-way section to be adopted
• Give the start and end dates of the adoption
• Give dates that litter pick-up can not occur

We ask our volunteer groups to commit to:

• A minimum two year commitment
• Three clean-ups per year
• Responsibility for a minimum two kilometer stretch of road
• Appointing an Authorized Group Representative to act on behalf of the group
• Attending an annual safety meeting
• Being familiar with the contents of the 'Safety Guidelines for Volunteers' video before participating in the clean-up
• Obeying and abiding by all laws and regulations relating to safety and such terms and conditions as may be required by the County
