ADOPT A HIGHWAY - Saturday, June 20, 2020

The Hillsborough-Millstone Municipal Alliance, also known as BoroAWARE, partnered with the NJ Adopt-A-Highway litter removal program to clean up a one mile stretch of Route 206 in Hillsborough.  Volunteers from the Municipal Alliance will be taking to the roadway, not only to clean up litter, but to bring awareness to the drug and alcohol prevention programs provided by the Alliance and their partners.  On Saturday June 20th, travelers along Route 206 may see the NJDOT orange caution signs at the places where the NJDOT signature “Adopt a Highway” Alliance signs are at the beginning and end of the mile where the clean up will be taking place.  Alliance members volunteered to complete the roadside clean up.  

“We are thankful for the members and volunteers of the Municipal Alliance, going above and beyond to raise awareness for the various programs and initiatives to educate our community on the importance of substance abuse education and prevention,” commented Mayor Doug Tomson. 

All Governor Executive Orders, including social distancing requirements will be in place.

The Adopt-A-Highway Litter Removal Program offers volunteers an opportunity to clean up litter on New Jersey state highways. This public-spirited program extends the effectiveness of NJDOT's ongoing effort to make state highways cleaner and more attractive and at the same time control the growing cost of litter removal.
