Dane County offers an Adopt-A-Highway program as a part of a statewide effort to support the anti-litter movement and promote a clean environment. The Adopt-A-Highway program helps:
Reduce litter along county highways
Build support for the county's anti-litter, environmental, and highway beautification programs
Educate and encourage the drivers to properly dispose of their litter
If my group adopts a highway, what are we responsible for doing?
Once granted a highway, your volunteer group will take responsibility for litter control on a segment of a county highway. A sign will be posted with your group's name alongside the segment of county highway you've adopted.
To meet safety regulations, you will be asked to pick up litter on this segment at least three times a year between April 1 and November 1. After each clean up, please submit a clean up report.
Groups will not be asked to pick up litter along dangerous areas like county bridges, medians, or steep slopes
Your group will be responsible for the segment of road you have adopted until you notify the county of your intent to retire
