The Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association and its retail members are among the supporters for the 2015 Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania, March 1 through May 31.
During Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful’s annual cleanup, registered groups can obtain trash bags, gloves and safety vests from PennDOT district offices, as supplies last. Qualifying events are litter cleanups, illegal dump cleanups, beautification projects, special collections and educational events. As part of the event, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association are sponsoring Pick It Up PA — every day from April 11 to May 4. During the Pick It Up PA Days, registered events can take the trash collected to participating landfills for reduced or free disposal.
Since the inception of the Cleanup in 2004, more than 1,565,950 million volunteers have picked up 80,575,227 million pounds of litter and waste and over 202,350 tires from Pennsylvania’s landscape. In addition, more than 136,300 trees, bulbs, and flowers have been planted.
The 2015 event supporters are the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, PennDOT, Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association, the Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association, Giant Eagle, Giant Food Stores, Inc., The Fresh Grocer, ShopRite, Sheetz, Wawa, Wegmans, Weis Markets, Republic Services, Steel Recycling Institute and the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority.
In addition to monetary support, these companies have provided gift cards, refreshments and other support for registered Cleanup participants.
