State encourages schools to be litter free
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful invites elementary and secondary schools in Pennsylvania to participate in the Litter-Free School Zone Program, a comprehensive program designed to teach lessons around recycling, litter awareness and community stewardship.
The program is intended to encourage students in kindergarten through 12th grade to keep their school grounds litter-free and to raise public awareness regarding litter via a Litter-Free School Zone sign to be displayed outside the school.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful also offers Tools for Schools, which are online tools and resources for educators and students regarding litter prevention, cleanups and recycling-related activities to support the program. Visit www.gacofpa.org/ToolsforSchools.aspx for more information.
The Litter-Free School Zone Program is sponsored by the Department of Environment Protection. To learn more, visit www.keeppabeautiful.org/KeepIt/LitterFreeSchoolZone.aspx or call Stephanie Larson at 877-772-3673.
