Join Pick Up Pennsylvania And The Greatest American Cleanup In Honor Of Earth Day And America’s 250th Anniversary
Juniata College students participated in a campus-wide cleanup as part of Pick Up Pennsylvania, the state’s largest community improvement initiative.
(PA Environment Digest Blog) In celebration of Earth Day and America’s 250th Anniversary, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, whose vision is a clean and beautiful Pennsylvania, encourages residents to join the 2026 Pick Up Pennsylvania initiative.
Pick Up Pennsylvania engages tens of thousands of volunteers annually through litter cleanups, illegal dump cleanups, beautification projects, special collections, and educational events.
Events registered through May 31 receive free trash bags, gloves, and safety vests provided by support from the Department of Environmental Protection and PennDOT, as supplies last.
To help with the cost of trash disposal, the Department of Environmental Protection and Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association are sponsoring low or no cost disposal through April 30.
During this time, trash collected at registered events can be taken to participating landfills, with prior approval.
