ECCS has supported the cleanup of over 1,000 EPA, DoD, state and local sites over the past two decades.  But the cleanup that brings us the greatest satisfaction is the cleanup of a 2-mile stretch of local community highway just south of our office.  Most of our project work in one of our 12 mobile laboratories actually occurs outside of the state of Wisconsin, and almost none occurs here in Madison. So it is even more so imperative for us to live the mantra “Think Globally, Act Locally.” The Adopt-a-Highway (AAH) program allowed us to live that statement perfectly. This Fall, over half the office participated in the cleanup effort, and collectively we picked up over 10 bags of trash. It is both amazing and sad what some people discard along our roadways. Consider helping out YOUR local community by joining the nationwide AAH movement. It is both a team building exercise AND rewarding.
