NJ Clean Communities Council Gives "Adopt-a-Highway" Award to Cherry Hill Volvo

Cherry Hill Volvo has received the “Adopt-a-Highway” award from the New Jersey Clean Communities Council (NJCCC) for the dealership’s commitment to cleaning up Route 73 north in Mount Laurel.

It has been three years since Cherry Hill Volvo joined the Adopt-a-Highway program, which encourages volunteers to clean and maintain state highways to enhance New Jersey’s landscape, collecting and recycling tons of trash every year.

“Being a Volvo dealer, we are committed to the community and the environment,” said Giovanni Spiritoso, shop foreman at Cherry Hill Volvo. “The Adopt-a-Highway program is a perfect fit for us and the State of New Jersey. You gain a different perspective of the environment when you are cleaning the road, and are aware of the many people who throw garbage out your window. Every time my team and I go out there, I leave with a positive feeling.”

The annual Adopt-a-Highway Award is presented to a business, community organization, school, or individual who has cleaned and maintained public property for at least two years.

“Cherry Hill Volvo is a proud partner who has shown strong commitment to a cleaner and better New Jersey, making the dealership an ideal recipient for this award,” said Sandy Huber, executive director of the New Jersey Clean Communities Council. “We are proud of all the work this team has done, and look forward to continuing our partnership with the dealership for years to come.”

New Jersey Clean Communities is a comprehensive, statewide litter-abatement program that has served New Jersey residents and visitors for more than 25 years. Learn more at njclean.org.
