Adopt-A-Road Program
The Township of Blandford-Blenheim’s Adopt-A-Road Program encourages residents, community groups, businesses, schools, and organizations to help keep Township roadsides clean through volunteer-led litter collection and environmental stewardship initiatives.
By participating in the program, volunteers help enhance the appearance of the community, reduce litter in natural and rural areas, and promote community pride throughout the Township.
Participants “adopt” a section of Township roadway and commit to completing a minimum of two cleanups per year, typically during the spring and fall seasons. In recognition of their efforts, the Township will install recognition signage along the adopted roadway section.
