Reading Eagle - Nearly 100 volunteers spread across Berks County spent Saturday morning picking up trash as part of a cleanup sponsored by state Sen. Judy Schwank.
"We collected a lot of bags of trash, and a couple places are cleaner as a result," the senator, a Ruscombmanor Township Democrat, said of the effort, which extended from Kutztown to Mount Penn and into Reading.
The event came as part of this year's Great Pennsylvania Cleanup.
"We wanted to play into the statewide effort," Schwank said. "Litter is everywhere, unfortunately. Everybody has a lot of things to do, but I think you lead by example. I was really pleased with the groups of folks that came to help. We had some folks here that were really community minded."
