Editor’s note: The following information was received from the Walworth County Dept. of Public Works.

(ELKHORN, WI): Adopt-A-Highway volunteer groups will begin roadside cleanup efforts in
April as part of the coordinated, statewide highway beautification program to remove the trash,
recyclables, and litter from state and county roads. Drivers should exercise caution and be aware of
the Adopt-A-Highway groups as they are traveling Walworth County roads.

Volunteer groups in need of supplies should contact Walworth County Public Works at (262) 741-3367. To make this a safe and productive volunteer program, volunteers should remember to be
aware of their surroundings and should not pick up litter on medians, bridges, tunnels, overpasses,
or around other structures that would pose a danger. If volunteers see suspicious items, they should
not touch them and should contact Walworth County Public Works (262) 741-3114, Option 1.

Groups interested in adopting a road section to maintain should contact Walworth County Public
Works for information, (262) 741-3367.
