Dear Marion County Resident:
 
Thank you in advance for your interest in the Adopt-A-Road Program. Here is a brief explanation of the program:
   - A primary contact person who resides in Marion County with a mailing address of the individual, family, group, or organization must be provided on a completed application. 
- Requested commitment: 1 to 2 mile section of county road unless along a residential or business area within the urban growth boundary, then it shall be one-half mile or longer. 
- Minimum cleanup of 2 times per year.  
- Participants must be 10 years of age or older.  A signed waiver of liability and indemnification form must be submitted for each participant before participation in a cleanup. 
- After one year of commitment and 2 clean-ups, a sign with your group name will be placed in recognition of your efforts.  
-  You set your own schedule for pickups.  
- We provide a container with vests, gloves, yellow bags for trash, flags to flag any chemical, animals, large appliances, etc.  
- We provide necessary warning signs to be placed on the shoulder of the road.  
- After each cleanup, our Litter Patrol will pick up the trash bags.  
- Children under 18 must have a waiver of liability and indemnification form signed by their parent or guardian.  
- Children age 10 and 11 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
