The Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau is seeking volunteers for its next region-wide litter pick-up day on Saturday, Sept. 23, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The event is rain or shine.

The bi-annual event is just one component of the PMVB’s overall “Pick Up the Poconos” campaign, which has resulted in nearly 34,000 bags of trash picked up.

Volunteer forms may be filled out at PickUpthePoconos.com. The deadline to register is 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15.

There are more than 20 pickup locations across Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Carbon counties from which volunteers can choose.

The PMVB is currently working with the listed townships and boroughs to identify which roads need to be cleaned. Detailed information will be relayed to volunteers closer to the event date via the contact information shared on the sign-up form.

Thanks to PennDOT and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, the PMVB provides supply kits to each volunteer containing T-shirts, gloves, trash bags, safety vests and other supplies.
