Adopt-A-Highway
Defiance County
Environmental Services began an Adopt-A-Highway (AAH)
program in the early 1990's in response to growing public
concern about litter along our local roads. The program was
established with a litter grant from the Department of
Natural Resources and has continued since.
A contract is signed by the
roadway adoptee, agreeing to the terms and conditions
including the amount of miles adopted, commitment to pick
the road up at a minimum of four (4) times per year and to
schedule a cleanup during the Great American CleanupTM
events.
A sign with the group's
name/organization is installed at the beginning and the end
of the miles adopted at no charge. Litter supplies
such as gloves, grabbers, garbage bags may be available. If
you are interested in adopting a road, please call
419-782-5442 for more information.
