"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!
So you cleaned up the park, stream, forest, neighborhood…
