Celebrate Earth
Day By Joining Keep PA Beautiful’s Great American Cleanup of PA
In
celebration of Earth Day, April 22, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful
encourages residents to join the 2019 Great American Cleanup of PA
today at www.gacofpa.org.
Events
registered through May 31 receive free trash bags, gloves, and safety
vests from PennDOT district offices, as supplies last.
The
Great American Cleanup of PA engages over 150,000 volunteers annually
in litter cleanups, illegal dump cleanups, beautification projects,
special collections, and educational events.
To
help with the cost of trash disposal, the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection and Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association
are sponsoring Pick It Up PA Days from April 13 through May 6.
During
this time, trash collected at registered events can be taken to
participating landfills and receive free or reduced cost disposal with
prior approval.
Join
thousands of volunteers across Pennsylvania in keeping our communities
clean and beautiful. Register your group event at www.gacofpa.org or by calling
Michelle Dunn, Great American Cleanup of PA Program Coordinator, at
1-877-772-3673 ext. 113 or email at mdunn@keeppabeautiful.org.
If
your group has a registered event, send in a 60-second video
recognizing sponsors and volunteers to slarson@keeppabeautiful.org.
"We
are so grateful to our volunteers and sponsors who help make the Great
American Cleanup of PA, Pennsylvania’s premier community improvement
initiative, a huge success each year,” said Shannon Reiter, President
of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. “Last year, Pennsylvanians coordinated
and participated in 5,362 events. Close to 20,000 tires and 6.6 million
pounds of trash were removed from our beautiful landscape. This year we
hope to engage even more Pennsylvania’s to join the Great American
Cleanup of PA to help keep our communities clean and beautiful.”
