The Pennsylvania Resources Council, established in 1939, is one of the Commonwealth's oldest citizen action environmental organizations. Recognized as a state and national leader in waste reduction and recycling, the remainder of PRC's work focuses on litter and visual blight prevention, watershed awareness, and composting.   The strength of PRC's programs is derived from its continuing efforts to bring people, businesses, and government together to prevent and solve environmental problems. PRC has offices in Pittsburgh at the CCI Center and in eastern Pennsylvania at the Environmental Living Demonstration Center in Ridley Creek State Park, Delaware County.

LITTER-FREE SCHOOL ZONES
The cleanup and prevention of litter is a focus issue of the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful alliance, of which PRC is a proud member. The Litter-Free School Zone program is a way of encouraging students to keep their school grounds litter-free and help raise the public's awareness of the problem of litter. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful provides participating schools with a “Litter-Free School Zone” sign to be placed outside the school as a way to encourage students, families, and neighbors to help keep their community clean and litter free.  To learn more or to register, visit the Great PA Cleanup website.

All schools who register as a Litter Free School Zone during the Great PA Cleanup will automatically be entered into a random prize drawing for a chance to win one of five $1,000 gift cards that were graciously donated by the Home Depot Corporation.
