The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is looking for volunteers across the Commonwealth to participate in the Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania, which runs from March 1 through May 31.
During last year’s cleanup event, more than 159,000 volunteers collected 7 million pounds of trash from 13,140 miles of roads, trails and shorelines. In addition, PennDOT’s Adopt-A-Highway volunteers picked up more than 3.5 million pounds of trash along more than 10,000 miles of roadway during the event.
A listing of cleanup events and resources for organizing a cleanup group can be found on the website of State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129)
