Adopt A Highway, Minnesota

Gopher Resource Employees Help Clean the Community with Adopt A Highway, Minnesota

Gopher Resource employees began working with the Adopt A Highway program in 2014 along Dodd Road in Eagan. Minnesota's Adopt A Highway program is one of the most successful in the nation thanks to the many volunteers who pick up approximately 26,000 tons of litter each year, saving the state an estimated $7 million annually. Since inception, Gopher Resource employees have picked-up over 185 full bags of trash from the roadside.
