Warmer weather means it is time for spring cleaning in the Hoosier State – and Indiana’s highways are no exception! From April 5-27, 2008, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) and Adopt-A-Highway groups will conduct a major statewide effort to clean up Indiana’s highways during Trash Bash.
For more than a decade, INDOT crews and Adopt-A-Highway volunteers have joined forces to spring clean every mile of interstate during Trash Bash. Each year, hundreds of tons of trash is collected – sprucing up highways in time for nice weather. In 2007, INDOT workers, INDOT coordinated Department of Correction crews and 249 Adopt-A-Highway groups collected more than 34,500 bags of trash from 3,000 miles of state highways and rights-of-way. With the help of employees and volunteers, this year’s Trash Bash will be even more successful.
