Final Adopt-A-Highway Pickup Of The Year Begins Saturday

The final Adopt-A-Highway pickup of the year will mark the completion of the 25th anniversary of the popular Michigan Department of Transportation program.

Thousands of volunteers will be scouring the roadsides looking for trash starting this Saturday through next Sunday.

Motorists should be on the lookout for volunteers wearing high-visibility, yellow-green safety vests.

Every year, Adopt-A-Highway volunteers collect about 70,000 bags of trash, for a total of more than 2 million bags in 25 years.

Last year alone, the volunteer efforts of nearly 3,200 Adopt-A-Highway groups generated a $5 million value for state taxpayers.
