PA CleanWays of Huntingdon County

PA CleanWays of Huntingdon County, a chapter of PA CleanWays, was formed in 2001 with support from the Huntington County Conservation District. The chapter focuses on cleanups of illegal dumps, special collection events for disposal of hard to recycle items, and educating the public on the detriments of illegal dumping and littering. Since our inception through the end of 2009, Huntingdon County has held 29 cleanups removing and properly disposing of 195.21 tons of trash as well as recycling over 2,300 tires! During our past several special collection events, we have collected and recycled over 3,300 tires!

The Huntingdon County Chapter has an extensive network of volunteers, including the Conservation Club from Juniata College. Since 2005, our volunteers have donated a total of almost 1,500 hours to help clean our beautiful county! One of our most recent cleanups was on Hogan Road in Shirley Township where volunteers removed and properly disposed 6 tons of trash and recycled 120 tires! Another site, Fulcomer Lane, was cleaned with the assistance of a contractor and removed a total of 60.92 tons.
