This fall, groups and individuals are cleaning up their favorite shared public spaces through Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s Pick Up Pennsylvania program, supporting the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup, an initiative to keep trash from reaching our waterways and oceans. From September 1 through November 30, volunteers will be provided with trash bags, gloves, and safety vests, provided by the state Department of Environmental Protection, PennDOT, and the Ocean Conservancy, as supplies last, when they register a cleanup with Pick Up Pennsylvania. Both waterway and land-based cleanups are eligible for the program.  

Join an existing cleanup event by visiting Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s Calendar of Events at keeppabeautiful.org, or register your own, large or small, by visiting keeppabeautiful.org, Programs, Pick Up PA.
