Adopt a Road

ERICD is proud to participate in RIDOT’s Adopt a Road program, bringing volunteers together to help keep sections of Rhode Island’s state roads clean and litter-free.

The program is part of the statewide Let’s Keep Rhody Litter-Free! initiative, helping communities take an active role in keeping Rhode Island beautiful. It is one of the main programs under the Let’s Keep Rhody Litter-Free! initiative. You can learn more here.

You can find ERICD’s signs along Memorial Blvd, Newport, RI!
