Registration is now open for the 2025 Pick Up Pennsylvania! - Pennsylvania’s largest community improvement program! Events scheduled from March 1 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. Events can include litter cleanups, illegal dump cleanups, community greening and beautification, special collections and anti-litter education events. Events must be registered to receive free cleanup supplies. The Department of Environmental Protection and Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association are sponsoring trash disposal, free of charge or at a reduced rate for registered program participants, at participating landfills from April 1 through April 30, with prior approval. 77,000+ Volunteers Last year, more than 77,000 volunteers participated in Pick Up Pennsylvania! Over 3.2 million pounds of litter and trash were picked up, 4.5 million pounds of materials were recycled and over 14,000 trees, flowers and other greens were planted. "Generations of Pennsylvanians have been working with organizations and state and local governments to cleanup and beautify our shared public spaces across the state. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is so appreciative for the hard work and dedication. Let's keep working together for a clean and beautiful Pennsylvania.
