Any civic-minded organization, business, individual, family, city, county, state, or federal agency is welcome to volunteer in the Georgia Adopt-A-Highway program. Each volunteer group must have at least six members, with three backup members. All members’ names, addresses and phone numbers will be provided to Georgia DOT prior to acceptance of the application. Children aged twelve to fifteen years must be supervised by adults at a rate of one adult for every three children. Children under the age of twelve are ineligible for participation in the program.

To show the community that you are doing your part to clean up Georgia, Georgia DOT will erect a sign with the Adopt-A-Highway logo and your group’s name after your first pickup. Sorry, but logos, insignias, slogans, phone or fax numbers, Internet addresses, ham radio IDs, or directions are not allowed. Georgia DOT will place the recognition signs at the beginning of your adoption project area on both sides of the road. The schedule of sign placement and the size, content and location are at the discretion of Georgia DOT.
