Litter Abatement Program

||||||||||||||
 It is a great way to promote civic responsibility and community pride within your organization. Your businesses will also be able to benefit because it is often known that cleaner roads and highways provide visitors a more pleasant experience. It is therefore easier to attract the old visitors to return to the area and new ones to come. The visitors will create a lot of business opportunities and revenues for the business owners.What Kind of Adoption Opportunities Are Available? Participation can include one or more of the following activities: *Removing litter on a two-mile stretch of roadside (frequency varies with location). *Planting and establishing five acres of seeding trees and/or shrubs according to an approved plan. * Removing graffiti as needed for one or more highway structures. *Controlling weeds on five acres of right-of-way according to an approved plan. How Much Does It Cost? A volunteer group that performs litter removal and uses a standard recognition panel on their Adopt-A-Highway sign will incur no costs. Who Can Participate? Individuals, organizations, businesses, city, county, state, and federal agencies. How Long Do Adoptions Last? Adopt-A-Highway Encroachment Permits are issued for a period of five years. You can renew your permit as many times as you want to. Kaki Chen is the TAMC Litter Abatement Coordinator.
