If you’re out for a fall hike and discover an illegal dump site or graffiti defacing the beauty of Pennsylvania, Keep PA Beautiful encourages you to report it through their webpage.
Documenting illegal dump and graffiti sites throughout Pennsylvania is a critical step in educating people about these problems on our lands and waters, and ultimately in helping to restore the natural beauty of our state.
While Keep PA Beautiful is not an enforcement agency and don’t directly clean up sites, they do have the Pick Up Pennsylvania community improvement program and numerous affiliates and partners throughout the state who may be able to assist.
