The Township of Howick Adopt-a-Road Program has been established as a public service program for volunteers to pick up litter along certain municipal right of ways. Under the program, groups or individuals agree to adopt a section of road right-of-way and keep it clean. In addition to a cleaner environment, the volunteer(s) are recognized by a sign erected by the Township acknowledging their efforts.
