Village of Skokie Adopt-A-Highway Program
The Village continues to look for community groups and organizations willing to "adopt" a stretch of Skokie's main streets. The Village will erect signs at each end of the adopted section of roadway to acknowledge each participating group's contributions to the community.
Scout groups, churches & synagogues, service organizations, businesses, school clubs and other community groups are encouraged to consider participating in this important litter abatement program. They can apply to clean up preferred sections of roadway. Each participating group would maintain a stretch of parkway from 1/2" mile up to 2 miles in length and agree to collect litter on that stretch at least twice per year. The program is for litter abatement only and there are no landscaping responsibilities involved.
The Village will provide the group with the appropriate safety gear, collection tools, traffic control signage and the collection bags. The Village would collect the debris picked up the day after the event. The Village also will explain the safety guidelines to a designated group coordinator before participation in the clean-up effort.
If your group would like to participate or you would like more information on the program, call Public Works Department at (847) 933-8271.
