Calling all changemakers, park lovers, volunteers, and anyone who is tired of seeing litter in our communities!
The Delaware County Office of Sustainability invites residents to be part of the Keep Delco Beautiful Launch Clean Up and Celebration event on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at Sun Village Park in Chester City.
This event marks the official kickoff of Keep Delco Beautiful, an initiative that unites community groups, volunteers, and organizations in a shared mission to keep Delaware County safe, clean, and beautiful. Participants will take part in a park cleanup and beautification project, followed by a celebration with free food, refreshments, and opportunities to connect with local organizations that are leading the charge in environmental stewardship.
"There is power in partnership, and this event perfectly highlights that power," said Becca Yurkovich, County Sustainability Officer. "Keep Delco Beautiful brings together the many organizations that are working to keep our community safe, clean, and beautiful. Participants in this event can expect a high-energy day of fun and togetherness as we work to make and Keep Delco Beautiful."
“Keep Delco Beautiful is about more than just picking up litter; it's about fostering pride, connection, and responsibility for the spaces we share,” said County Council Member Elaine Paul Schaefer. “This event is an opportunity for residents to come together, make a visible impact, and be part of something bigger."
