Adopt-A-Road Policy |
||
Only official "Adopt-A-Highway" trash bags should be used. Hazardous,
unidentifiable items and others which could present safety
hazards should not be collected. Remove rubbish from as many grassy sections, including unmowed areas, within your adopted regions as possible Do not collect litter in the medians of expressways. Re-enter expressways at the next safe interchange, instead of using median crossovers to turn around. Following pickups, leave filled bags on the grass adjacent to pavement, but not on the paved areas. The purpose of Adopt-A-Road is to involve Montcalm County citizens in keeping their local roads clean, safe, and attractive. Your group can adopt as little as one mile and as much as four miles. Any group of people can adopt a road. We encourage service organizations, schools, scout troops, senior groups and businesses to get involved in the program. Group participants must be at least 14 years of age or older unless otherwise approved. Groups that request a specific roadside area will be assigned to that area on a first come, first serve basis. Every attempt will be made to assign you to your road of choice. All groups that adopt a road will have a sign displayed on their portion of road recognizing their involvement in the program.
