The City of Salisbury is pleased to officially announce our Adopt-A-Road program.
Would you like to spend a few enjoyable hours helping to keep Salisbury beautiful?
The Adopt-A-Road Program gives volunteers the opportunity to show environmental concern and community pride by “adopting” stretches of roadway within City limits. To combat the amount of trash littered on Salisbury roadsides each day, the program promotes civic pride, environmental responsibility, preserves habitats, improves safety and saves money!
“Keeping Salisbury clean and beautiful is something those who live and work here can take pride in, and the Adopt-A-Road program is a great way for residents and organizations to make a real difference,” said Mayor Randy Taylor. “Together, we can protect our environment, enhance our community and ensure a better tomorrow for the place we call home.”
A rewarding opportunity to:
- Collect unsightly litter and recyclables
- Help protect local waterways by reducing debris that washes into the Chesapeake Bay and the many other beautiful historic waterways that shape our region
- Raise community awareness of the importance of a clean and safe environment
To recognize each adopter, the City provides a sign to designate the section of road and display the name of the group. Signs highlight the volunteers’ commitment while letting all those who pass by know that your organization cares about our community. Demonstrate your civic pride and make a positive statement for a clean and attractive environment!
Safety First! Volunteer safety is the top priority. The City provides:
- Safety vests and disposable work gloves
- Trash bags for litter collection
Groups are encouraged to post bright warning signs during clean-up activities, and all participants must follow traffic laws and safety guidelines.
