King County Road Services - What you can do to Be Green

Adopt-A-Road King County’s Adopt-A-Road Program began in 1991 — since then, more than 250 volunteer groups have cleaned hundreds of miles of roadway, keeping thousands of bags of litter off county roads. Learn how you, too, can help make King County a better place to live.

Report illegal dumping When you call the Illegal Dumping Hotline to let us know about an illegal dumpsite, we're able to quickly coordinate a clean-up response. Illegal dumpsites can attract rats, are dangerous to children, can pollute our rivers and streams, and may contaminate wells.

Use our online tools to plan an efficient commute From My Commute traffic cameras to subscription Road Alerts to Metro Online and TripPlanner, King County has many online tools that can help you plan a safe and efficient commute.

Bike or walk Go green and get healthy at the same time — consider incorporating bicycling and walking into your lifestyle. Check out the bicycling resources we provide, including the popular King County Bicycling Guidemap and Public Health's walking maps.

Secure your load Secured loads help prevent litter and save lives. Thirty-four percent of litter-related violations issued by the Washington State Patrol in 2003 were for a failure to to secure a load and an additional 22% were issued for debris escaping from those loads. Secure your load — it's the law. (.pdf)
