Chemung County Adopt-A-Highway

---

     Is your organization interested in the Adopt-A-Highway         program? 

Why Adopt?

Chemung County can use your help keeping our local roads and highways litter free. Getting involved in the Adopt-A-Highway program is your organization’s way of showing that you believe in protecting your local environment.

It’s easy! All Adopt-A-Highway program participants receive a stretch of roadway that must be cleaned up bi-annually. In recognition of your participation, Chemung County will construct a sign designating your chosen cleanup location. To ensure safety, Chemung County will also provide hard hats, safety vests, garbage bags, garbage pickup and disposal, as well as the appropriate roadway clean-up training.

Who can adopt?

Any local business or organization may adopt a highway. Chemung County welcomes civic, fraternal, services, youth (all participants must be 10 years of age or over), senior citizen, scout, school, church, synagogue and neighborhood organizations.

How does it work?

In conjunction with the Department of Public Works (DPW) your organization will choose a two mile stretch of county roadway to adopt for two or four years. Each group member will sign terms and conditions.
