🧠Here are some guidelines to help plan:
- Volunteers should be in good physical health and mentally alert using good common sense about the safety of self and others.
- Volunteers should have an up-to-date tetanus shot.
- Do not bring any pets with you.
- All participants engaging in any Adopt a Highway activities must be at least 12 years of age and sign a permission slip.
- Groups are to provide one adult supervisor for every 3 participants between the ages of 12-17
- Volunteers working along interstates must be 18 years of age or older.
- Only pick during daylight hours and good weather. Do not pick when roads are wet or when visibility is poor.
- Every volunteer needs to wear an AAH safety vest at all times. (We will have these available on-site)
- Wear work clothes, heavy gloves, work boots or leather shoes, hat, long sleeves and long pants, sunscreen, insect/tick repellent. Bring a first aid kit, water and a cell phone.
🧠Guidelines when picking trash:
- Bring and wear your own gloves and use a trash picking tool whenever possible.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth while picking trash.
- After trash picking is complete, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol or disinfectant wipes.
- Do not volunteer if you are sick.
We will plan to meet at 1:00PM-1:15PM in the parking lot at Members and then drive to the adopt-a-highway location, less than 5 minutes away. 👍🏻
