Pick-Up PA Summary for Spring 2024 Season

June 2024

Pick Up PA

Each spring, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and PennDOT team up to host Pick Up PA, which is part of Keep America Beautiful's Great American Cleanup and encourages Pennsylvanians to all chip in and do their part to help keep Pennsylvania a clean and green place to live, work and play.

Pick Up PA runs from March 1-May 31, and if an organization registers their event on Keep PA Beautiful's website the organization can receive free work gloves, safety vests and trash bags from PennDOT, as well as free or discounted disposal at your local landfill.

This year in Chester County alone there were over 2,000 volunteers who participated in nearly 50 beautification events across our county during Pick Up PA, including litter cleanups, stream cleanups, tree plantings, and other beautification and community greening events. Across the state, that number exceeds 31,000 Pennsylvanians striving to make their communities cleaner and more beautiful for all to enjoy.

If you or your community group would like to participate or host an event, please visit our webpage for Keep Chester County Beautiful to find out more. And if your group has participated, we thank you for helping to keep Chester County beautiful!
