For
adopting areas for the purpose of litter clean ups,
there are two separate programs that we are supporting:
The IDOT program focuses on state-controlled highways
such as Route 148 & Route 13. Information about
the IDOT program may be found at: http://www.dot.state.il.us/aah/default.html
The IDOT web site offers an on-line application form.
If you would like to talk with IDOT before actually
submitting an application to determine if an area may
be adopted or may have already been adopted by another
group, please contact IDOT. Please be especially mindful
of the IDOT safety guidelines: http://www.dot.state.il.us/ahh/guidelines.html we use their guidelines as our guidelines.
The contact page for IDOT
areas may be found at:

In
Williamson County, Brent Gentry, County Commissioner
is sponsoring a county roadway adoption program. His
program’s focus is Williamson County-controlled
roadways. Brent suggests that people who may wish to
adopt a county roadway should contact him so he can
provide information related to areas in need of adoption
and related information. Brent may be contacted at:
997-1301 Ext. 135 or via e-mail at llure@shawneelink.net
I will also fax you a hard copy of the non-state controlled
Adopt a Spot adoption form (but prior to filling out
this form be sure to touch base with Brent to be sure
the area is available/appropriate).
In
Carbondale, Keep Carbondale Beautify has an
Adopt-A-Spot program. They will provide you with trash
bags and collect the litter from the adopted area after
a clean-up. For more information please contact Valerie
Rasp at keepcb@midwest.net or call 618-525-5525.
Other Counties in southern Illinois,
Beautify Southern Illinois Campaign has a non-state
road adoption program for all counties below Interstate
64. For more information about this program contact
Paul Restivo at 618-453-7180 or email him at restivo@cehs.siu.edu.
