Adopt-a-Highway clean-up coming soon

Community and volunteer groups can adopt sections of state highway as part of the Michigan Department of Transportation Adopt-A-Highway program. The annual spring cleanup along roadsides will be held across lower Michigan April 17-25. The first pickup for the northern Lower Peninsula and Upper Peninsula will be May 1-9. Volunteers pick up litter three times each year. Statewide pickups are also slated for July 17-25 and Sept. 25-Oct. 3. Groups are asked to adopt a section for at least two years, and Adopt-A-Highway signs bearing a group’s name are posted along the stretch of adopted highway. There is no fee to participate.
