PennDOT is seeking volunteers for this year's Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania effort that runs through May 31.
Interested individuals can find a listing of cleanup events, resources for organizing a cleanup and other information at www.gacofpa.org.
During last year's Great American Cleanup, 6.7 million pounds of litter was collected from Pennsylvania's roads, trails and shorelines by more than 141,000 volunteers.
This year, cleanup partner Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is hosting its first-ever Great American Cleanup Video Contest. Interested individuals can send a three- to five-minute video of their cleanup event to Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful by May 24, with eventual voting on the group's Facebook page.
