Adopt a Highway: Volunteers gear up for National CleanUp Day

Register here as a first step to gathering friends and family for the 7th annual ADOT litter cleanup on National CleanUp Day, Saturday, Sept. 21.

While Adopt a Highway permits are for two-years and require cleanups several times per year, we will work to find an adoptable area suitable for a one-day gathering of volunteers on National CleanUp Day.  You bring gloves and pick-up-sticks and we will provide the bags and vests you’ll need to participate.

After the event, volunteer group leaders report the number of trash bags filled and how many volunteers participated. Letting us know about the great work you did helps us measure the success of the annual cleanup and we recognize your group with a well-deserved certificate of appreciation. 

The Adopt a Highway team plans to make site visits to as many volunteer groups as logistics allow on Sept. 21. If your group is located on our route we will contact you to coordinate a visit prior to event day.

We'd love to see and share your National CleanUp Day photos on social media. Please use the hashtag #NationalCleanUpDay and tag us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter/X. 

Thank you for considering ADOT as an opportunity to unite and reduce litter in Arizona. 

Arizona, Keep It Grand!
