Highway Cleanup Begins Saturday

Keep an eye out along Michigan roadways this weekend.

Dan Weingarten from the Michigan Department of Transportation says volunteers will be picking up trash as part of the Adopt-A-Highway program over the next week.

Volunteers pick up 70,000 bags of trash every year in Michigan saving taxpayers $5 million annually.

Nearly 3,000 groups will be picking up litter along 6,400 miles of highway.

This is the second of three scheduled pickups this year.
