AHMC would like to recognize a state and a program that has marked the beginning of a new era in preserving our environment. Texas is celebrating the 25^th anniversary of its very own Adopt-a-Highway Volunteer Program and AHMC would like to applaud them on such a positive achievement. The first of its kind and highly successful, Adopt-a-Highway in Texas has laid the foundation for programs alike not only across the nation, but across the world!

What started out as a pilot program in 1985 has now grown into a nationally-recognized program and it was just 25 years ago when the first stretch of roadway was adopted in Texas.  Adopt-a-Highway volunteers keep the Texas-born program going strong with currently more than 4,500 groups across the state who remove trash and debris from the state’s roadways.

AHMC would like to recognize the thousands of volunteers who make a difference and we commend the passion that Texans have for keeping their state beautiful. For additional information about the Texas Adopt-a-Highway program and its history, visit their website here.

Not only does Texas have a successful Adopt-a-Highway program, the state has also launched a nationally recognized campaign for litter removal along state highways.

History of the Campaign: (website)

Back in 1985, Texas had a big problem with litter on the side of the highways. To battle this big, expensive roadside mess, the Texas Highway Commission launched an extensive public education campaign. Using research, we identified the state’s worst offenders and how best to reach them, and with that — the legend was born. We’ve been encouraging Texans to keep litter off the roads ever since.

From the beginning, Don’t mess with Texas has been a great success, using iconic Texas celebrities to help spread our message. We’ve enlisted the help of singers like Willie Nelson and George Strait, athletes like George Foreman and Randy White, and even a stealthy World War II-era B-17 bomber to remind Texans what Don’t mess with Texas really means.

Whether the message shows up on a billboard, TV, or computer screen, we’re proud of our advertising. Not only has it successfully captured the Texan spirit and garnered lots of attention and exposure for the campaign, it’s also helped keep tons of litter off Texas roads. To us, it really doesn’t get much better than that.

Programs and people like this have become a huge inspiration for what we do here at AHMC and we are so happy to be able to offer similar opportunities to sponsors in all 20 of our fast growing markets. While Adopt A Highway Maintenance Corporation is not a volunteer program like Texas Adopt-a-Highway, we still provide companies and organizations the opportunity to brand their name and logo while supporting the community that they work and live.

(And we pick up all the trash!)

Earth day was created to bring public attention to our earth's most precious resources and AHMC would like to recognize all of the businesses and sponsors who support programs like Adopt a Highway and Sponsor a Highway to help maintain a clean and lasting environment for us as well as generations to come.

Happy Earth Week!

Every year on Earth Day, people take a moment to reflect on what they can do to keep our planet healthy. Fortunately, there are people who feel that one day is simply just not enough to make significant impact. Our sponsors support a program that pulled 144,094 bags of garbage off the highway last year, which is roughly the weight of 24 elephants! That’s nearly 240 tons! Not only are highways beautified, but trash is sorted and recycled. We do this all year long, and we have been doing it for over 23 years. So on this Earth Day, we would like to say thank you to all  our sponsors, who go beyond the day to make a difference for us all!

We also want to take a quick moment to give a shout out to some of our office staff here who also go a little bit out of their way to make a difference. Thank you, Carol Blunden, Joe De La Riva, and Brian Szatkowski! Our office superstars who are not only constantly competing with each other for our empty soda cans but they also e-cycle old batteries, keeping them out of landfills where they turn into hazardous waste! Every little bit helps, and when you have a lot of people doing a little bit, the difference is huge!

More information will be released soon!

We are so excited that Zappos is continuing its commitment to cleaner highways by renewing their partnership with Adopt A Highway Maintenance Corporation for the ninth year.  The first year Zappos partnered with AHMC was in 2005, just after moving to Las Vegas, and was only able to sponsor three total miles of highway for cleanup.

Every year since, Zappos has been able to adopt more miles and now in 2013, their company sponsors a combined total of 158 miles of highway in the Las Vegas valley and is on a waiting list for 20 more miles!

We are excited to say that Zappos is second largest Sponsor of highway cleanup in the NATION!

AHMC crews clean the right shoulders of these sponsored highways up to two times a month. In 2012, 9,300 bags of garbage were collected along the roadsides, equaling roughly 40 tons of waste.

When put into perspective, it’s hard to imagine how things would be without our amazing Sponsors who support our program! Needless to say, we’re proud that Zappos is one of the largest contributors to keeping Nevada’s highways clean, and we’re so thankful to have them as a partner with our program!

Thank you Zappos, from all of us at AHMC!
