Safety Tips

Consider the following safety tips when gathering a group to maintain your adopted road:

• All volunteers must be a 12 years old or older to take part
• There must be one adult (over the age of 19) for every 5 workers
• Always wear your personal protection equipment
• Carpool to the road to reduce the amount of vehicles parking on the side of the road
• Park cars in a visible location on the side of road you are working on and ensure there are no blocked sight lines to driveways or intersecting roads
• Do not perform clean up during bad weather as it could be hard for other drivers to see you
• Coordinate and schedule time and dates to be on site with Township staff to ensure the proper signage is displayed on site during cleanup activities
• Minimize the amount of time required crossing the road by working on one side at a time
• Work during daily light hours only
