The Adopt-A-Highway program is an education program designed to encourage people to stop littering. It is a roadside cleanup program that will give a better first impression of our county to visitors and tourists.

Each volunteer group is responsible for a two-mile section of highway and agrees to remove litter a minimum of four times a year over a two-year period.

The Will County Department of Highways will erect permanent signs identifying the adopting group and will provide safety vests, trash bags, and removal of filled bags, temporary warning signs, and initial safety training. To view the mandatory safety video, go to: http://www.dot.state.il.us/aah/guidelines.html scroll to bottom of page and find "To access the AAH Safety Video on line please click here".

In order for your group to sign up, read the application, terms and conditions carefully. Also, you can consult the Will County Highway System list should a particular county highway be of interest to your group.

 

When your group finds a highway you would like to adopt, please complete and return the application to:

Will County Dept. of Highways
16841 W. Laraway Road
Joliet, Illinois 60433
