Milton Lions Club cleans highway segment
MILTON — Milton Lions Club did their part to clean up the environment and make the community more beautiful on Thursday, July 25. As participants in the Department of Transportation’s Adopt-A-Highway program, they collected trash along two miles of Harbeson Road from Sandhill Road to Diamond Farm Road.
Members of milton Lions Club spent over 25.5 hours collecting 12 bags of litter.
"Seeing the clean shoulders and enhancing the appearance of the highway was most gratifying to our Lions members," said Doris Mock, Adopt-A-Highway participant.
To adopt a highway, individuals, organizations or businesses agree to keep a two-mile stretch of road free of litter for a period of two years. Volunteers are given trash bags and safety vests to assist them with their clean-ups. They also have the option of recycling any litter collected and keeping the money for their organization. In recognition of each group’s involvement, DelDOT posts signs bearing the sponsor’s name at the beginning and end of the adopted section. Anyone interested in participating in DelDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway program should call 800-652-5600 for more information.
