Pennsylvania is a beautiful state with many natural resources and landscapes that need to be preserved. However, there are many areas across the state that are overflowing with trash and litter, which not only hurts the environment but is also costing the state a lot of money in cleanup efforts.
Every year the DOT and DEP of Pennsylvania encourage thousands of volunteers across Pennsylvania to go out and help with community cleanup efforts, resulting in the removal of millions of pounds of trash from natural landscapes. This helps out the environment, water systems, and residents who live in these areas with a high amount of litter. They have collected litter data and developed an action plan to help communities across Pennsylvania to continue and grow the recycling initiative.
A new Pennsylvania Law prohibits residents to throw away their old electronic devices, which can cause real harm to the environment if not disposed of properly. You can find an E-Cycling center near you to dispose of these the proper way. You can also call the Department of Environmental Protection’s recycling hotline to find out how to dispose of hazardous items, like electronics, that cannot be thrown away with household trash and need to be disposed of through special collection.
