Everyone Deserves a Clean and
Beautiful Neighborhood
Join the Great
American Cleanup of PA
Cleaning up your
neighborhood is one of the
best investments you can
make. Whether you have
vacant lots plagued with
debris, natural areas that are
dumped on, or litter blown
from down the street, any
neighborhood can be lifted
up by positive action.
The 15th annual Keep
Pennsylvania Beautiful
Great American Cleanup
of PA can help get you started. Through May 31, thousands of
Pennsylvania families and friends will partake in litter and illegal
dump cleanups, beautification projects such as tree and flower
plantings, recycling collections and education programs.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful
partners with PennDOT, the
Department of Environmental
Protection, and Keep America
Beautiful to provide free trash
bags, gloves, and safety vests
to registered participants, as
supplies last. During Let’s Pick
It Up PA—every day from April
13 through May 6—cleanups
registered with the Great
American Cleanup of PA are
eligible to take their trash to
participating landfills free of
charge or for a reduced rate.
Registration can be done online at www.gacofpa.org. Michelle
Dunn, Great American Cleanup of PA Program Coordinator, can
answer questions at 1.877.772.3673, ext. 113, or email mdunn@
keeppabeautiful.org.
Join thousands of Pennsylvanians and keep your neighborhood
clean and beautiful!
