PA Cleanup
Great PA Cleanup - Thank
You!!!
On Behalf of Governor
Rendell, Secretary Biehler of PennDOT, Secretary DiBerardinis of DCNR,
the members of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, and the many volunteers who
worked so hard to make the Great Pennsylvania Cleanup such a resounding
success, Thank You From All Of Us!!!
When we first challenged
the people of Pennsylvania to organize and conduct community cleanups as
part of the first annual Great Pennsylvania Cleanup, we knew you would
respond. But we weren't prepared for the overwhelming show of support
from all corners of the state.
Local government leaders,
business and trade organizations, community groups and ordinary
citizens joined forces to organize and conduct cleanups in community
parks, along roads and streams and in vacant lots. Over 500 groups
registered on this website, and PennDOT reports that several thousand
Adopt-A-Highway groups turned out to clean miles of state highways.
