On Saturday, April 18th, approximately 35 volunteers from Preferred Mutual, NY Pizzeria, and Stevie's Spiedies came together for the Adopt-A-Highway program. Volunteers spent nearly three hours cleaning-up a six-mile stretch of Route 8 in New Berlin, collecting more than 60 large bags of garbage from the sides of the road.
New York State's Adopt-A-Highway initiative began in 1990 as a response to the lack of federal funding available for roadside clean-up. Volunteers of this program "adopt" sections of highway and pledge to keep it free of litter and debris. The purpose of the Adopt-A-Highway project is to keep roads clean and beautiful despite lessening resources, and give communities a sense of pride in their highways.
In the fall of 2013, the three companies each committed to clean-up a section of Route 8 twice per year for two years. This clean-up marked the fourth time that the local businesses have joined forces for this common cause.
