adopt a highway
Sponsor road cleanup
Adopt a highway is a public service program where individuals, businesses, or organizations volunteer to maintain a stretch of roadway—typically by picking up litter several times a year.
In exchange, a sign along that section displays the adopter's name: The local Rotary Club adopted a highway outside town.
The phrase sometimes extends to similar programs for parks, streams, or other public spaces.
