Beaufort County Adopt-A-Highway is kicking off a challenge for citizens who may not have time to fully commit to a regular Adopt-A-Highway group. “The 30-Minute Challenge” encourages residents to take simple steps toward a cleaner community.

Whether it’s a plastic bottle or a stray wrapper — every piece picked up counts — and it only takes 30 minutes. The challenge kicks off Tuesday, August 5 and ends Wednesday, September 27.

Here's how the challenge works:

• Set the day, time, and location 
• Walk and pick up litter with friends, family, or neighbors
• Clean up your street, local park, boat landing, or other common shared spaces
• Register — Let us know so we can track your impact and celebrate your contribution. Click here to register.
• Report your results — When you complete your 30 minutes, submit your results to help us document the difference you're making. Click here to submit results.

Dedicated volunteers working alongside Beaufort County Public Works crews, continue to be the backbone of a healthy and vibrant community. The Adopt-A-Highway program, coupled with the consistent efforts of volunteers who report their cleanup activities, is making an undeniable difference right here in Beaufort County.

As our population continues to grow rapidly, so does the challenge of managing waste. That's why these contributions are more important than ever. Thanks to the commitment of our local volunteers and community groups, we're successfully maintaining clean roadways and fostering a clean and healthy environment in beautiful Beaufort County.
