Before you apply for a Clean-up Permit, please read the conditions and suggestions.
Each time cleanups are performed (usually twice per year in the spring and fall), a new Litter Clean-up Permit must be approved by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal. Safety vests, garbage bags and flagging materials are provided to the volunteer groups when the permit is approved.
Highway signs are installed along the adopted section of roadway to give recognition to the volunteer group, after two seasonal cleanups.
