We do this work under state Adopt-a-Highway agreements, and to date our teams have cleaned tens of thousands of pounds of trash from this scenic road. This project not only helps keep Highway 14 cleaner, but has educated us about the kind of trash that ends up along our highways. Lumber tags, commercial plastic sheeting and strapping, fast food containers, Styrofoam, beer can and liquor bottles &#8212; we find everything imaginable, but most of it is some type of plastic. Knowing that, ECCA advocates with our city and state legislators to step up laws already on the books against littering and consider new ways to reduce the volume of trash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-65d396d9 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the dry months, ECCA-organized teams go out about twice a month, usually on a Saturday or Sunday.

We believe that the more community members who understand the scope of trash and plastic pollution in this delicate watershed area, the better.

It&#8217;s because we want clean public spaces, and this is what it takes to achieve them. Also, frankly, many of our volunteers enjoy working outside with others who care about our environment. They like making a tangible, immediate difference. In short, it&#8217;s rewarding work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sign up: <\/strong>If you are interested in going out with us, there are two ways to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-65d396d9 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Starting in April, sign up via our <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/6y1C6ve3mWuwW9Sb8\">2026 Highway Trash Cleanup Schedule<\/a>.
