The annual cleanup is set for Sept. 29.

Individuals, families, churches, businesses, schools, civic organizations, government agencies and communities may register to pick up trash on almost any state-maintained road. Private roads and interstate highways cannot be adopted.
The Charleston Gazette reports that the program provides garbage bags, work gloves and safety vests to volunteers, who must be at least 12 years old.
