For the past several days, in celebration of Earth Day (which was April 22nd), our DPW Highway Crews have been busy along some of Dutchess County's most highly trafficked roadways with their annual "Earth Week" litter cleanup. Crews removed an impressive 532 30-gallon bags of trash, 117 tires, and one boat!
Remember to do your part to help keep our roads clean and safe for all by disposing of trash properly, taking the time to pick up litter when necessary, or take part in our Adopt-A-Highway program! Organizations are encouraged to apply by calling (845) 486-2925. The New York State Department of Transportation and several local municipalities also offer Adopt-A-Road programs for state and local roadways.
