Adopt-A-Road Program
The Township Adopt-A-Road program began in Spring 2010 with twenty-five organizations and/or families adopting Township roads and conducting litter pick-ups along these roads twice a year.
The program establishs partnerships between Saucon Valley volunteers and the Township to help control litter along Township roads and maintain a clean environment.
The organizations and/or families are:
- The Basara Family

- Virginia Stanglein & Friends

- Kathy Pichel-McGovern (PennDOT - Adopt A Roadway Program)
Interested organizations/persons select from a list of designated roads and must commit to a 2-year period for the road adoption. The Township supplies the adopting organization's volunteers with safety equipment and trash bags, and the volunteers conduct litter pick-ups at least two (2) times per year along the road.
The Township is responsible for collecting and disposing of trash bags left along the road after clean-ups. In recognition of these volunteer efforts, the Township installs permanent signs along the roadway displaying the organization's name. Currently, twenty-six (26) roads in the Township have been adopted, thanks to the contributions of dedicated organizations, families, and individuals.
ALL SUPPLIES AND SIGNS ARE PROVIDED AND PAID FOR BY THE BETHLEHEM LANDFILL
