Keeping Missouri Beautiful

The purpose of the Keeping Missouri Beautiful program is to provide community support for litter prevention and highway beautification efforts.

MoDOT is responsible for maintaining about 385,000 acres of right of way. Much of this consists of the roadsides along a highway. Because of this large task, MoDOT has started the. Keeping Missouri Beautiful program. This is MoDOT’s volunteer litter pick up program. Volunteer groups may sign up and perform one-time litter clean up events that are coordinated through MoDOT’s district offices. The program allows the public to become personally involved in improving our environment and helping to keep Missouri's roadsides beautiful.

MoDOT spends about 12 million annually to clean up litter, not including the efforts of the volunteers in our Keeping Missouri Beautiful program.

Keeping Missouri’s highways clean is a shared responsibility of MoDOT, contract workers and many volunteers who help every year to make a difference in how this great state looks to the travelling public. Every area kept free of litter by volunteers allows MoDOT to devote resources to other much-needed tasks.

Cleaning up Missouri’s roadsides just got a little easier for some people. The Sponsor-A-Highway program complements Keeping Missouri Beautiful by offering one more way for citizens to clean up Missouri. Groups or organizations can sponsor a highway in the Kansas City and Saint Louis areas and pay a private group, Adopt-A-Highway Litter Removal Services of America, Inc., to do litter cleanup and other services on their behalf.

Refer to EPG 141.8 Sponsorship Programs for more information on MoDOT's Sponsorship Policy.
