Great Harrisburg Litter Cleanup seeks volunteers for beautification event on Saturday

Volunteers at a past Great Harrisburg Litter Cleanup

This weekend in Harrisburg will bring the perfect opportunity to celebrate Earth Day.

On Saturday, April 22, Tri County Community Action will host its annual Great Harrisburg Litter Cleanup to help beautify the city.

The organization is calling on volunteers to make the event happen by picking up trash, coordinating site cleanups, driving trucks and monitoring dumpsters.

Last year, over 300 volunteers disposed of over 20,000 pounds of trash and 450 tires during the day.

For the cleanup, volunteers will focus on the Allison Hill, Uptown and Midtown neighborhoods.

Volunteers can register individually or as a team. Check in on the morning of the cleanup will be at the following locations:

  • Allison Hill: Tri County Community Action, 1514 Derry St.
  • Midtown: 329 Harris St.
  • Uptown: Wesley Union AME Zion Church, 5th & Camp streets

For those registering to pick up trash, the event will take place from 8 to 11 a.m. Times vary for other volunteer positions.

Event T-shirts will be distributed to volunteers on a first-come, first-served basis.
