During National Volunteer Week, we're thankful for the 1,002 Adopt a Highway volunteer groups who cleaned nearly 2,000 miles of state highways in 2021.
ADOT crews collected 800 tons of litter in 2021 along Maricopa County freeways. That’s a lot of litter and also a 47% increase in the amount of litter picked up in 2017.
Melissa Owen's annual "All the Way to the Border" cleanup celebrated a comeback as 101 volunteers returned to collect litter along 45 miles of State Route 286, between Three Points at State Route 86 to Sasabe at the Arizona-Mexico border.
