I don't think it's illegal but as someone else mentioned- you'll need a place to dispose of the trash bags afterwards properly, a sharps bucket for glass and such, maybe something to deal with biohazards.
Always safety first! There is probably programs with your local council for it
As long as there’s no weird stipulations against it I’d say go for it! High-vis vest and a good pair of gloves for sure 👍 (I have a neighbor that goes out almost every morning but I’m in a small town so I don’t think they really mind that he does it haha)
Nothing illegal at all.
Get good thich boots, thick gloves and a grabby stick if you can! I go for daily walks when the weather permits and I clean up my neighborhood. Any glass I find I keep to make jewelry from! Lots of treasures out there!
I highly recommend! Make sure you get gloves so you don’t touch any biohazards/sharps. I’d also recommend investing in some high-vis sinage to put between road sections so cars know people are up ahead~
My sorority does adopt-a-highway and this service is so helpful and appreciated and ntm fun
not really, no, but it is always more "official" looking and safer to bring a buddy with you! iirc, we only have to notify local enforcement when it's a major roadway.
If you're worried about legality, I'd check in with your City Council. They might even have volunteer programs to do it in groups, with all the equipment you'd need to do it safely! c:
Even if it wasn't, I feel like that would be one of those things where you're so clearly doing good and bringing no harm that nobody would bother to enforce it
