PA CleanWays of Greene County, an affiliate of PA CleanWays, was formed in 2001 with the support from the Greene County Commissioner's Office. The independent 501(c)3 affiliate of PA CleanWays focuses on cleanups of illegal dumps and educating the public on the detriments of illegal dumping and littering. Since our inception through the end of 2009, PA CleanWays of Greene County has held 54 cleanups removing and properly disposing of 678 tons of trash as well as recycling over 12,000 tires! Through our eight most recent special collection events, we have collected and properly disposed of over 5,900 tires, 4.5 tons of scrap metal, and 2.4 tons of electronics!

PA CleanWays of Greene County has an extensive network of volunteers and works with many local conservation groups. Since 2005, our volunteers have donated over 1,750 hours to make Greene County a better place to live and visit!

Unfortunately, illegal dumping continues to be a problem in the county. The Greene County Illegal Dump Survey was completed in 2007 by PA CleanWays to identify illegal dumpsites within the county. The survey located 49 illegal dumpsites totaling 449.75 tons of trash! We are in the process of cleaning up these dumpsites and could use your help. An example is the site on North Hill Road in Morris Township. After two cleanups, 28 tons of trash was removed and properly disposed.

Please check our Calendar of Events for upcoming cleanups and events. If you would like to become a volunteer or a member, please contact Theresa Matscherz, Executive Director, at 724-627-7097 or e-mail.
