Pick Up Pennsylvania

Volunteers beautify Pennsylvania in an annual statewide event occurring from March 1 through May 31. During this time, thousands of Pennsylvanians take to the streets, parks, and waterways in their towns and cities to collect the unsightly trash that litters Pennsyvlania's environment.

Although not a PennDOT program, PennDOT lends support to Pick Up Pennsylvania (PUP) by providing gloves, safety vests, and trash bags to volunteers. (For safety considerations, state routes to be cleaned must be pre-approved by county managers, and litter pickup may not be provided by PennDOT).

To organize activities in your community and for additional information, contact PUP by visiting gacofpa.org.
