Participation in National CleanUp Day rises four times over last year
Thank you to Adopt a Highway Volunteers and one-day permit groups that participated in the statewide cleanup on National CleanUp Day, Saturday, Sept. 19. Because of you, National CleanUp day is in the bag!
This year promised to be an even bigger success, and it was! Check out the ADOT News to read about the Adopt a Highway program record you broke for trash collected in Arizona!
Arizona temperatures are beginning to drop around the state and that means volunteers are taking advantage of the cooler weather by heading out to their adopted areas to clean.
At this time we are asking all volunteers to respect guidelines for social distancing and follow all regulations of the jurisdiction where your cleanup is taking place. Keep groups to fewer than 10 people as recommended by the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Wash your hands, especially after touching any frequently used item or surface. Avoid touching your face.
We'd love to see and share your volunteer group photos on social media. Please tag your photos with @ArizonaDOT.
Thank you for considering ADOT as an opportunity to unite and reduce litter along our highways. If you would like more information about the program, visit Adopt a Highway online.
If you live in Phoenix and would like to help reduce litter in your neighborhood, please visit My Beautiful Phoenix hosted by Keep Phoenix Beautiful. The Maricopa Association of Governments' also focuses on keeping roadways clean through its Don't Trash Arizona campaign.
Arizona, Keep It Grand!
