Allegheny Cleanways to Provide Supplies and Training for Neighborhood Clean-upsGreetings-
Allegheny CleanWays, an affiliate of the nonprofit Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, is providing equipment and training for this year’s Spring Redd Up/Great American Cleanup of PA.
The Great American Cleanup of PA is a statewide initiative that encourages people throughout the Commonwealth to help eliminate unsightly debris along our roads, sidewalks, and streams. Sponsored by The PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the Department of Transportation (PennDOT), and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, Inc., the event, known locally as the Spring Redd Up, spans several weeks with most communities focusing on the Earth Day weekend of April 19th-21st.
Allegheny CleanWays will again serve as a distributor of gloves, bags and safety vests for PennDOT, and will provide two training workshops in partnership with the Community
Technical Assistance Center (CTAC) on how to coordinate a community cleanup. The two-hour program covers topics such as: assessing the target area and obtaining the equipment to clean it, engaging and supporting volunteers, developing a project 
coordination team, managing communications and the actual cleanup event. Refreshments and time for planning will be provided.
For a schedule of the workshops and to register, access the following link, or call Allegheny CleanWays at 412.381.1301.

Sincerely,
R. Daniel Lavelle
