Roadside Cleanup

What This Service Involves

Roadside litter along higher-speed corridors demands proper traffic control that volunteer programs often cannot provide safely. Our crews set up compliant work zones and clear shoulders, medians, and embankments of accumulated trash and debris. We can supplement or backstop adopt-a-road volunteer programs on segments deemed too hazardous for the public. Collected material is bagged, tracked by segment, and hauled for disposal or recycling.

Benefits

Compliant work-zone traffic control for crew and driver safety; access to hazardous segments unsuitable for volunteers; support that strengthens adopt-a-road programs; segment-level tracking of collected volume; safer, cleaner high-visibility corridors

Our Process

1) Plan segments and set required work-zone traffic control; 2) Clear shoulders, medians, and slopes of litter and debris; 3) Bag and consolidate material by segment for pickup; 4) Haul to disposal or recycling and log volumes

What Affects the Cost

Corridor speed and required traffic-control level; segment length and litter density; embankment slope and access difficulty; crew size and safety equipment; disposal and recycling fees

Best Time of Year

Cleanups are scheduled across the year, with major sweeps common ahead of summer travel and after winter storm debris accumulates.
