10 years strong: Mecosta factory keeps highway clean - The Pioneer

Associate: It feels good to make a difference
Published

STANWOOD — For the 10th year, associates from the Ice Mountain Natural Spring Water Mecosta factory in Stanwood, rolled up their sleeves and participated in the Michigan Department of Transportation “Adopt-A-Highway” program.

The Mecosta team picked up debris on a two-mile segment of M-20 just west of the factory, and another team covered a two-mile section of US-10 just west of Evart.

The teams take to the roadways twice a year to pick up discarded items that end up along Michigan roadways, and on average picks up at 12 bags of litter and sometimes as many as 40.

Participating in the Michigan Adopt-A-Highway program gives companies the opportunity to be recognized for their contributions to the local community and the environment, provides for cleaner highways and allows MDOT to use funds allocated for litter removal to improve Michigan's roadways.

“It feels good to make a difference in our local communities”, said Connie Frank, a long-time Ice Mountain associate and program volunteer, “Keeping the roadways clean not only gives you a sense of pride but also keeps litter out of our waterways.”

Adopt-A-Highway is a Michigan Department of Transportation program designed to help keep the state's highway roadsides clean and attractive.

Participants adopt both sides of a section of state highway roadside to clean up over a two-year period.

A minimum two-mile stretch of roadway is recommended.
