An Update on Adopt-a-Highway

In 2025, NJCCC executed 18 new contracts representing community and business groups committed to keeping specific stretches of highways clean in Bergen, Hudson, Burlington, Somerset, Monmouth, Union, Essex, Mercer, Cumberland, Atlantic, Middlesex, and Warren counties.

All groups must ensure that all of their volunteers complete mandatory safety training before approval. NJDOT requires groups to conduct six cleanups each year and send in post-event data cards and photos. As a result, NJCCC has a growing montage of photos of dedicated volunteers.

There are now 102 approved groups across New Jersey. Please note that not every application results in the adoption of a roadway. Learn more at njclean.org.
