This statewide initiative, part of Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup, empowers Pennsylvanians to remove litter from streets, parks, and waterways before it reaches our oceans.
Cleanups don’t just make places look better, they protect wildlife, reduce pollution, and build community pride.
When you take action, you inspire others to do the same. Whether you're with a group or going solo, every piece of trash you pick up helps keep Pennsylvania beautiful.
Register your event to get free cleanup supplies, provided by the Department of Environmental Protection and The Ocean Conservancy, while they last.
To register your event and for more information, visit KPB’s Pick Up Pennsylvania webpage.
