Keep PA Beautiful Award Winners Recognized By Chester County Commissioners

WEST CHESTER, PA — Chester County Commissioners recently recognized two local award recipients for their environmental efforts as part of the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful 2024 awards. Dave Shirey was named Volunteer of the Year for organizing an annual cleanup that mobilizes over 100 volunteers across 80 sites in southern Chester County. Recycling Services Inc., based in North Coventry, received the Community Partner award for hosting and supporting a recycling initiative that processed more than 4,000 pounds of steel and 600 pounds of plastic campaign signs last fall. Both were nominated by Keep Chester County Beautiful and honored at a public meeting for their commitment to environmental stewardship and community collaboration.

Participants can check in at Ashland Nature Center, Anson B. Nixon Park, or the Kennett Area YMCA starting at 8 a.m. The event seeks over 800 volunteers from all walks of life, with supplies provided and no experience required. The cleanup serves as both a community-building experience and a vital initiative for local environmental health. Registration is available online.
