4. Organize your volunteers, and have them:

• Fill out the Adopt-A- Road waiver form (required)
• Watch the required Meth Lab Recognition video (also available below)
• Fill out the photo release form; this is not required, but the county cannot use photos of volunteers unless all volunteers in the photo have completed this form.
• Read through the Cleanup and Safety Procedures in the Welcome Packet

5. Set cleanup dates. These can be scheduled independently of the Department of Transportation at your organization’s convenience. You must have two every year. More details are in the Welcome Packet.

6. Clean up your section. Please follow all policies and procedures as outlined in the Welcome Packet.

7. Report your cleanups using the Accomplishment Form.

• Photos of volunteers who have completed the Photo Release Form are always appreciated so Boulder County can continue to promote this great program!

8. Upkeep your forms

• Ensure new volunteers follow step 5
• If anything changes, please reach out the Public Works Department by sending an email to adoptaroad@bouldercounty.gov.

9. Let us know if you want to continue. Once your commitment period has ended, please confirm with the Boulder County Public Works Department if you would like to continue or end your adoption by sending an email to adoptaroad@bouldercounty.gov.
