Dunklin Fire Adopt’s 1.8 Miles of Rt. Z for Litter Cleanup through MODOT.

(Post Date 12-18-2007)

The Dunklin Fire Protection District has agreed to adopt 1.8 miles of Highway Z, extending from Southbound Interstate 55 to Cherry Lane for litter cleanup. The district is working with the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Adopt-A-Highway Program to participate.

This is an excellent way for us to, again, give back to our community and be able to work in the community which we proudly serve. The stretch of highway has never been adopted by a person, company or organization in the past.
Our Firefighters plan to participate in the clean-up at least twice per year. MODOT Highway workers posted signs signifying the beginning and end of the cleanup route on 12-18-2007.

Please help us make Missouri’s Roadways cleaner by participating in the “No More Trash” effort.
