The County of Wellington coordinates an Adopt-A-Road programme for County roadside clean up. Many groups are already involved and there is opportunity for more to participate, as there are many un-adopted stretches of Wellington County roads. The existing groups renew their commitment on an annual basis after the initial 2-year term. Registered groups contact their area Roads Foreman for additional garbage bags and to let them know when they plan to do their roadside pick-up.

If you are interested in more information about our Adopt-A-Road programme, please contact the Roads Division. Service groups can develop civic pride in adopting a section of road and keeping it clean. Your group can pick a County road that’s available, attend a safety seminar and sign the agreement to participate. The Adopt-A-Road coordinator will bring your supplies to the safety seminar and you’ll be ready to begin. Special Adopt-A-Road signs will be posted at each end of your adopted road section to identify your group’s participation in the programme.

It’s a win, win situation for all concerned.
Society as a whole benefits because we are working together towards a cleaner environment and teaching all involved how to become more environmentally aware.

The Corporation of the County of Wellington incurs the total cost of administering this programme.

The County of Wellington will supply:

The booklet “Safety Guidelines for Volunteers”
Safety vests for all volunteers
Garbage bags, flags, and traffic cones
Someone to pick up flagged hazardous materials
Someone to pick up filled trash bags at designated site

The County of Wellington will also:

Monitor to ensure the objectives of the programme are being met
Approve the name, titles, or words placed on the ADOPT-A-ROAD signs
Locate the road right-of-way section to be adopted
Give the start and end dates of the adoption
Give dates that litter pick-up can not occur

Volunteer groups must commit to:

A minimum two year commitment
Three clean-ups per year
A minimum two kilometre stretch of road
Appoint an Authorized Group Representative to act on behalf of the group
Attend an annual safety meeting and receive and be familiar with the contents of the “Safety Guidelines for Volunteers” before participating in the clean-up of the adopted section of right-of-way
Obey and abide by all laws and regulations relating to safety and such terms and conditions as may be required by the County
