WHAT’S NEWS IN MARS AREA
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. From
March 1 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
[email protected].
Join thousands of Pennsylvanians
and keep your neighborhood clean and
beautiful!
