The City of Vineland Adopt-A-Road Program supports The Cumberland County Clean Communities and the New Jersey Adopt-A-Highway Program ongoing effort to make our city roads more attractive. At the same time it also helps control the growing cost of litter removal on the miles of roads and bridges under its jurisdiction.
The problem is intensified by the fact that, while New Jersey is the third smallest state in land size, it is the most densely populated state in the nation and has more vehicles per mile on its roads.
The most common category of litter found on the City of Vineland's roadways is paper, including fast food containers and newspapers, followed by cans and bottles. It is not unusual to find larger items such as tires, auto parts and household debris.
The Adopt-A-Road Program provides citizens with an opportunity to help the City of Vineland achieve their mutual goal of safe, attractive, litter free, roadways and also to raise the public's level of awareness about the alarming increase in the amount of roadside trash. The Adopt-A-Road program promotes and establishes the stewardship of public lands by citizens and cooperation between the public and government to resolve a problem.
The City of Vineland joins New Jersey and 40 other states that sponsor similar Adopt-A-Road programs.
