CHARLESTON, W.Va.  — The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is accepting registrations for the Adopt-A-Highway Fall Statewide Cleanup, scheduled for Sept. 30.

Adopt-A-Highway is administered by the Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan. Its goals include improving the quality of our environment by encouraging public involvement in the elimination of highway litter.

According to the state agency, individuals, families, churches, businesses, schools, civic organizations, government agencies and communities can register to pick up trash on almost any state-maintained road, back road or main route.

Volunteers must be at least 12 years old to participate.
