Sick of looking at the plastic bags, cardboard, fast food containers, empty water bottles, etc. on the side of the freeway? Want to be part of the solution instead of just complaining about it?
Our Adopt-A-Highway Team meets SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2020 9:00 AM-12:30 PM. We clean the north side of Highway 280 between Meridian Avenue and Saratoga Avenue.
By the way -- we often find money along with the trash. We frequently find $20 bills (November 2018, March 2019), and in 2016, two of us found over $300 in cash lying in the bushes by the Saratoga off-ramp! Maybe this time you will be the lucky one!
We meet at the corner of Leigh and Moorpark on the north side of the street at 9:00, form teams, and drive to worksites by 9:15.
It's an opportunity to do a good deed for your community and the environment.
It's an opportunity to get some exercise outdoors.
It's an opportunity to earn community-service credits.
You might pick up some cash!
Free pizza and soft drinks are your reward when we're done.

Please contact me if you are serious about joining us. It is frustrating making plans for volunteers who don't show up or bother to call to or email to say they cannot make it.
You must be at least 18 years of age.
