Approximately 110 volunteer organizations participate in the Adopt-a-Road Program and monitor roughly 600 miles of roadways throughout Pierce County. Volunteers take on a 2-mile stretch of county road. We loan out hardhats, vests, and signage. We also provide the litter bags and the bag pickup.
Benefits
The Adopt-a-Road Program promotes civic pride and environmental responsibility, preserves habitats and improves motorist safety.
It also saves money. Road crews spend about $250,000 and many hours each year cleaning roadside litter and illegal dump sites (about 400,000 pounds of trash). Without Adopt-a-Road volunteers, these numbers would be significantly higher.
Get Involved
If you, your family, your neighborhood, your civic organization, or your workplace is interested in helping make a difference in your area, please contact us. Your neighborhood will look better and be a safer, healthier environment for all residents.
