We're calling on volunteers to join our efforts to Keep PA Beautiful as part of the Great American Cleanup, which will take place throughout Greater Hazleton on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, April 24, 25 or 26.

Volunteer groups can gather their groups to cleanup on either on any day. Groups are asked to leave bags along the cleanup route and PennDOT and local municipalities will pick up the bags on Monday, April 27. Garbage bags, safety vests and gloves will be provided to all the volunteer groups.

Targeted areas include entrances into the Greater Hazleton Area, playgrounds and greenspaces. Participants can, if they choose, select any specific area that they feel is in need. Gather your family, friends, employees, or volunteer group, and clean up an area, roadway, a city block or playground and help us to clean up Greater Hazleton.

This year's cleanup marks the 42^nd year that the Chamber is coordinating the event in Greater Hazleton. The Greater Hazleton Mountain Council of Governments has been also assisting in the coordination efforts for the past several years as well.

Anyone interested in forming a group to volunteering for the one-day cleanup effort may still do so by calling the Chamber office at 455-1509 or simply download, complete and return the registration form to Mary Malone at .
