Volunteers must be at least 12 years old, and those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, according to an ADOT release, which added that, for students, the volunteer opportunities can be a chance to earn required service credits.

In 2024, nearly 900 volunteer groups with nearly 8,000 volunteers removed 10,400 bags of litter along state highways.
