See all- Adopt a Highway Fall Cleanup #1Park & Ride, Brighton, MI
Please come take 2 hours of your day to help do something good for the planet! We will have a "best trash" contest - with a prize for the person who finds the most interesting/funny piece of trash.
Everyone who has volunteered with us for past highway cleanup events has always enjoyed the comradery of our friendly group, and the satisfaction of knowing they helped.
We do not go near the freeway or the shoulder of the road, so you don't have to worry about safety.
Our adopted stretch of the I-96 highway in Brighton is in great need of cleaning - we need as much help as we can get to clean up our little part of the planet!Bring/wear:
- work gloves (a good, sturdy pair)
- long work boots or hiking boots
- long pants (with cinch bottoms or ankle straps if you have them)
- water (we'll keep water in the cars which we will be going back and forth to)
- a "grabber bar" if you have one (we have several to loan)
- a snack (optional)
NOTE: Bags, vests, and bug spray will be provided
