Everyone wants to live, work and play in a clean and green community… and it's up to everyone to make it possible and improve the overall quality of life for us all.

Join Pennsylvanians across the state — and Americans across the nation — in cleaning up litter and trash along our roadsides, streams, parks, forests and neighborhoods. Anyone can help!

Community and civic associations, school and youth groups, families and friends, business employees, hunting and fishing clubs, conservation organizations, sport teams and others can organize their members and participate in the Great American Cleanup of PA.

During the Great American Cleanup of PA, registered events can get free cleanup supplies, such as bags, gloves, and vests donated by PennDOT and Keep America Beautiful. During the two-week period of the Pick It Up PA Days, DEP and participating landfills are sponsoring free disposal for registered events.

Let's Pick It Up PA — Every Day!

It is VERY important to register your event as part of the Great American Cleanup of PA. Only registered events will have access to resources and supplies! An event coordinator should register the event.

Take the Next Step

"Pick It Up PA — Every Day" Pick up a piece of litter every day while walking down the street, hiking along a stream or in the woods, fishing, boating, playing in the park, or anywhere else...if we all pick up one piece of litter every day, Pennsylvania will be clean and beautiful! Are you interested in what you can do?
