Help the Pittsburgh Marathon divert more than 90% of waste from the landfill! Since 2011, Pennsylvania Resources Council has worked with P3R and the Pittsburgh Marathon to help divert more than 90% of waste from the landfill, including the race course and post-event festival in Point State Park. Our volunteers help make this possible through helping with our post-Marathon Litter Crew! Join in after the race to help remove litter and divert waste by sending it to compost and recycling.

Mission Statement

PRC works hard to protect Pennsylvania's resources for future generations through environmental education, litter prevention, and waste diversion (such as recycling, composting, and reuse).

Description

PRC works with local government, communities, partner organizations, and local residents to protect Pennsylvania's resources for future generations. Our projects range from adult and in-school environmental education, waste diversion through recycling, composting, and reuse, to litter prevention through education and awareness campaigns.

PRC always needs help keeping specialty materials (like TVs and paints) out of PA homes and in the hands of those who can recycle and handle them responsibly, as well as help fighting stormwater runoff through rain garden installations.
