Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Thursday reminded community groups and volunteers there is still time to be part of the Great American Cleanup of PA to clean up roadside litter, illegal dumps and to beautify your neighborhood.

The deadline to register your event is May 31.

Registered events receive free cleanup supplies of bags, gloves and vests, as supplies last.

“This is a great opportunity for neighbors, friends and even whole communities to come together and have fun while improving our communities,” said Shannon Reiter, President of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful.  

Events can be litter cleanups, illegal dump cleanups, beautification projects, special collections, and educational events and must be registered to receive free cleanup supplies.
