Adopt-A-Highway
Overview
Georgia’s Adopt-A-Highway Program enlists citizen volunteers' help to remove litter from state roadsides. While saving taxpayer dollars, the program provides recognition for participating companies and organizations, brings the environmental and monetary costs of littering into public awareness, and promotes civic responsibility and pride. The volunteers of the Adopt-A-Highway program serve as visible reminders to the public that we are all stewards of the land.
Georgians are proud of our beautiful state, but unfortunately, our roadways are becoming dumping grounds for illegal litter. The same state that inspired poet laureate Sidney Lanier to write of its beautiful rivers and trees is being threatened by litter, which is unsightly and expensive to remove. Roadside litter also poses a serious threat to motorists and wildlife.
Please help clean up our state by volunteering with our Adopt-A-Highway Program, a partnership between the Georgia Department of Transportation and Keep Georgia Beautiful. The following information will help you and your group get started so that you can join hundreds of volunteer groups already cleaning up Georgia’s roadways. Thanks for helping Keep Georgia Peachy Clean!
