Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Thursday announced Mahantango Enterprises, Inc. has pledged support for the 2018 Great American Cleanup of PA, a statewide community cleanup and beautification initiative that runs from March 1 through May 31.
Mahantango Enterprises, is based in Liverpool, Perry County and is a full service tire collector and recycler, turning scrap tires from a waste product to a valuable commodity by producing rubber products that are clean, consistent and high quality.
The recycled tires are ground into rubber mulch, play turf, landscaping borders, athletic turf, and rubber asphalt roads, among other uses.
“My parents started this business in 1989, and their motto has always been “Clean Up America”! We cannot think of a better way to honor their commitment to our family business and the environment than by supporting this worthwhile initiative that enables thousands of Pennsylvania residents to improve our local communities,” expressed Denise Troyer, Treasurer, Mahantango Enterprises, Inc.
“We are grateful for the support of Mahantango Enterprises. Our volunteers and sponsors are who help make the Great American Cleanup of PA, Pennsylvania’s premier community improvement initiative, possible,” said Shannon Reiter, President of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. “Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and Mahantango Enterprises share the goal of clean communities. The Great American Cleanup empowers citizens to do that locally.”
Since the inception of this event in 2004, over 2.1 million volunteers have picked up 97 million pounds of litter and waste, 170,619 miles of roads, waterways, shorelines, and trails have been cleaned, and more than 181,000 trees, bulbs, and flowers have been planted.
