Volunteers are need for the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s (TDOT) Adopt-A-Highway Program in 27 counties including, Bledsoe, Fentress, Jackson, Overton, Pickett, Van Buren, Warren and White counties.
Adopt-A-Highway volunteers must be at least 12 years old and commit to cleaning up a TDOT-approved two-mile stretch of roadside each quarter. TDOT provides all necessary supplies including plastic bags, trash grabbers, gloves, caution signs, and safety vests, and will even pick up the filled bags at the end of the cleanup. Program participants are also rewarded with a free roadside recognition panel displaying their chosen message along the adopted route.
For more information or to sign up for the Adopt-A-Highway Program go online to the TDOT’s website.
