Requirements: Volunteer will be required to watch a Caltrans sponsored online safety video (about 30 - 40 minutes) and attend a brief pre-outing safety orientation. Volunteer must be at least 18 years of age, work in an alert fashion and be in reasonable physical condition.

Team leader will then transport volunteers to a designated Eastbound Highway 80 location between Ashby Avenue in Berkeley to Central Ave in Richmond and supervise the volunteers during the outing. Volunteer team participates in one Highway 80 Adopt-A-Highway litter cleanup once per - month. Litter is collected and placed in bags then left by side of Highway 80 in a safe and orderly fashion. Background: During April 2016, Internet Securities® was awarded a sponsorship by Caltrans Adopt-A-Highway program to remove litter along the Eastbound portion of Interstate Highway 80 between Ashby Avenue in Berkeley north to Central Avenue in Richmond. Every month, we have a small crew including Michael Beardsley, Founder and CEO of Internet Securities who works removing litter and assorted debris along this stretch of Highway 80. April 2021 marked Internet Securities’ fifth year leading this volunteer effort to help keep this portion of Eastbound Highway 80 be relatively clean and devoid of litter and other road debris.
