Keep Perry County Beautiful, formerly PA CleanWays of Perry County, was formed in 2009 with support from the Perry County Conservation District and the Perry County Commissioner’s Office.

Keep Perry County Beautiful participates in an annual friendly rivalry called the “Tire Wars” with other KPB affiliates; Keep Huntingdon County Beautiful and PA CleanWays of Mifflin County. The “Gold Rim Award” is given to the affiliate who collects the most tires at a specific collection event, helping to remove unsightly tires and mosquito breeding grounds from the landscape.

In 2023, Keep Huntingdon County Beautiful won the “Gold Rim Award” by collecting 1,537 tires, Keep Perry County collected 737 tires and PA CleanWays of Mifflin County won the “Flat Tire Award” by collecting 397! Winning or losing, every tire collected helps to keep our communities clean and beautiful!
