Highway Clean-up Program

Saddle Hills County conducts an annual Highway Clean-Up Program on asphalt paved roads throughout the County.

Local community groups, schools, and organizations are encouraged to sign up to help clear ditches on designated areas of road to raise funds for their group and generate a sense of pride in the community.

Interested groups will be allocated sections of paved highway in Saddle Hills County to conduct clean-up efforts on, as outlined in Policy PW30. All appropriate training will be provided by the County, and a member of staff will coordinate the clean-up efforts. 

For more information and to sign-up, please contact Public Works at (780) 864-3760 or email publicworks@saddlehills.ab.ca
