Roadside Cleanup Planned, Volunteers Needed

Harrisburg – PennDOT is seeking volunteers for this year’s Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania, which begins March 1 and runs through May 31.

“Cleanup events like this have been a great success in improving the quality of life for Pennsylvanians by creating cleaner roadsides and communities,” said Secretary Barry Schoch. “Many dedicated residents return year after year to show their support, and I encourage more Pennsylvanians to show pride in our state through these great opportunities.”

Interested volunteers can find a listing of cleanup events, resources for organizing a cleanup group and other information at www.gacofpa.org.

Last year, more than 159,000 volunteers collected 7 million pounds of trash from 13,140 miles of roads, trails and shorelines during the Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania. 

PennDOT provides gloves, trash bags and safety vests to cleanup volunteers.
