How to adopt a Florida highway
Have you seen the signs on Florida highways that list a volunteer group who has agreed to adopt a specific section of Florida highway for litter control? These signs are placed there by the Florida Department of Transportation to recognize the group or business that have agreed to pick up trash and litter left there by litter bugs.
Those who sign up for the adopt a highway agree to:
- Adopt a 2 mile section
- Agree to a 2 year adoption
- Pick up and remove litter a minimum of 4 times a year
- Follow DOT safety requirements
In order to adopt a highway you need to contact the DOT in your county. You can find those numbers here.
