The Delaware Department of Transportation is asking Adopt-A-Highway volunteers and others to help clean up Delaware’s roadsides during the department’s 13th annual Imagine A Litter-Free Delaware event, which will be held between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Oct. 20 and Oct. 21. The rain date will be Oct. 28 and Oct. 29.

DelDOT is encouraging current Adopt-A-Highway groups and volunteers to participate in the event, and it’s not too late for new volunteers to adopt a Delaware roadside for cleanup.

If anyone would like to adopt a roadside, he or she can contact George Hollis in New Castle County at (302) 326-4523, Laura Young in Kent County at (302) 760-2413, or April Sammons in Sussex County at (302) 853-1315.

Participants in Imagine A Litter-Free Delaware should wear safety vests that DelDOT has provided to Adopt-A-Highway volunteers.

During 2016, Adopt-A-Highway volunteers picked up about 2,000 of the nearly 32,000 bags of trash collected along Delaware’s roads.
