Adopt-a-HighwayThe Spring Roadside clean-up started April 15th and ran through June 30th. This spring 7 groups from all corners of the province participated in the Annual Spring Roadside clean-up program and over 55 groups participated in the Adopt-a-Highway program. Church groups, community groups, service groups, Cadet Corps, environmental organizations and various companies totaling over 750 people spent 4,148 hours collecting 1786 bags of litter this spring. Fantastic job on keeping New Brunswick roadsides clean! These statistics are compiled using the activity reports that groups receive with their clean-up packages. These statistics are also used to secure funding to keep the Adopt-a-Program running. The Adopt-a-Highway and Annual Spring Roadside Clean-up programs are funded through the Environmental Trust Fund (ETF). If you have not sent in your activity report it is not too late! If you or your group is interested in becoming a part of the Adopt-a-Highway program or would like more information on the program simply click www.cfanb.ca or Tel: 506.452.1339, Toll Free: 1.866.405.7000, Fax: 506.452.7950. The fall clean-up runs from September 1st to October 31st. Individuals, non-profit organizations, service clubs and businesses may apply to take responsibility for a stretch of highway. New groups must complete the Adopt-a-Highway Form and send to: Over and above improving our roadsides, the clean-up and the signs will help educate the public, and that means reducing future litter. |
