Registered events receive free cleanup supplies of bags, gloves and vests, while supplies last.
“There have been hundreds of events across the state so far this year. Now is the time before the vegetation completely takes over and makes it difficult to see and get to the trash,” said Michelle Dunn, the statewide coordinator of the annual program. “People can simply organize their own local event or join an event in their area. It’s never too late to clean and beautify your community.”
Events can be litter cleanups, illegal dump cleanups, beautification projects, special collections, and educational events however, you must be registered to receive free cleanup supplies.
To register an event or volunteer to be part of a cleanup near you, visit the Great American Cleanup of PA website.
