On October 10, nearly a dozen volunteers organized on a crisp fall day to clean up Highway 100 near Robbinsdale. The Adopt-a-Highway event, organized by APWA-MN’s Environment & Sustainability Committee, was the seventh volunteer event hosted here since the highway was adopted in 2016.

Thanks to all of the volunteers, and with the support of MnDOT’s Truck Station in Golden Valley, nearly 50 bags of trash were collected from alongside the highway. The group removed hundreds of pounds of waste from our roads and waters.

On behalf of the Environment & Sustainability Committee, we wish to once again thank all of our participants and organizers for being part of a fun event, and supporting environmental stewardship! We look forward to another successful clean-up event next spring!
