The combination of Arizona Volunteer Week and Earth Day on Monday brought out volunteers April 22 for an adopt-a-highway cleanup effort.
The Arizona Department Adopt a Highway volunteers were safely off the road early Monday and collected more than 20 bags of litter in the State Route 143 right-of-way, according to an ADOT release.
“All across Arizona, Adopt a Highway volunteers are making a difference by helping keep our state grand,” Mary Currie, ADOT’s Adopt a Highway program manager, said.
“We hope showcasing our program during Arizona Volunteer Week and on Earth Day will encourage other Arizonans to join in.”
During 2023, nearly 9,000 people in 850 Adopt a Highway volunteer groups filled more than 15,000 bags with roadside litter, mainly outside of Arizona’s metropolitan areas, ADOT officials said.
Groups agree to pick up litter in an adopted stretch at least once a year and preferably three or more times a year. They coordinate with ADOT to arrange for safety vests, litter bags and training for pickup events and then report the results.
