How many volunteers does it take to keep Arizona highways grand? 

Last year, about 6,000 volunteers picked up 12,500 bags of trash from along Arizona’s highways. The equivalent dollar amount associated with this volunteer effort is about $628,785. Considering that  — that’s a lot of dollars that could be used to dispose of trash properly. 

There will be rumblings the weekend of April 22-23 as the Arizona Department of Transportation’s (ADOT) I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project gears up to remove the old 48th Street and Broadway Road bridges over Interstate 10.

The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division and its partner, Donate Life Arizona, are celebrating National Donate Life Month in April. 

This year we are highlighting the big impact of such an insignificant decision, like electing to be a donor can have.
