On Your Mark…

Dash for Trash is a fun, friendly, and good-for-the-islands, month-long competition among Adopt-A-Highway groups in Maui Nui to help celebrate Earth Month 2024.

You could win the coveted Dash for Trash trophy and a fun prize for all your volunteers!  The Dash for Trash winner will be the Adopt-A-Highway group that picks up the most trash during the month of April!

Here’s how you can Dash for Trash:

…Get Set…

  • Conduct one or more Adopt-A-Highway cleanups during April 2024.
  • Just for the month of April, you have the option to choose any Adopt-A-Highway segment to clean. If you’d like to help out another segment that may need a little extra TLC, please indicate which one when you submit your Event & Supply Request form.
  • We know that local weather conditions and traffic patterns affect trash loads on some highway segments more than others. As such, we have indicated the segments that historically accumulate the most trash on our ‘Trashiest Segments’ map. To view the map, click here or see below.
  • Be sure to submit both your pre- and post-cleanup forms in a timely manner and submit a cleanup photo. Completed forms will help determine the Dash for Trash winner.
Schedule an Event and Request Supplies

…Go!

  • For all cleanup events, always be sure to adhere to all Adopt-A-Highway safety practices including wearing appropriate clothing and safety gear, and staying out of driving lanes and private property.
  • During your cleanup, take a photo of your volunteers and filled orange Adopt-A-Highway trash bags and email it to us at stormwatermaui@gmail.com or upload it to your cleanup report. We’d like to share it on our Stormwater Maui website and social media.
  • Check out our Instagram page @stormwatermaui for Dash for Trash updates throughout April.
  • In May, we’ll notify the winning group and send them our fun prizes!
