Yuengling employees clean Route 209 and Schuylkill corridors in Pottsville. \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

~ Yuengling partners with Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and Keep America Beautiful for <\/em>local community improvement event ~<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Through a partnership between Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. and Keep America Beautiful, Route 209 in Pottsville received extra care and attention by way of a roadway cleanup project.<\/p>\n

On April 12, Yuengling employees and their family members met at Francis E. Lubinsky Park to sign in and receive supplies of bags, gloves and safety vests. As part of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful\u2019s Pick Up Pennsylvania community improvement program<\/a>, Yuengling volunteers were shuttled to pick up trash along the Route 209 and Schuylkill River corridor leading into Port Carbon.<\/p>\n

All told, 3,070 pounds of beverage and food containers, stray paper items, cigarette butts, glass bottles, tires and other litter commonly found along roads and public spaces were bagged within a span of two hours. The cleanup event highlights Yuengling\u2019s ongoing commitment to caring for our local communities and sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the Oldest Brewery in America, we have embraced the importance of preserving resources for 195 years,\u201d said Debbie Yuengling, 6th generation family member of D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. \u201cBy raising awareness and organizing clean up events, we look forward to bringing together all those who share our passion to care for our beautiful country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLitter negatively impacts our communities \u2013 the environment, waterways, property taxes, home values, tourism, businesses and the safety of our neighborhoods. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is grateful for our partnership with Yuengling and their staff for caring about keeping their community clean and beautiful. Their efforts are greatly appreciated and go a long way in helping to mitigate the negative effects of litter,” said Heidi Pedicone, Director of Programs, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful.<\/p>\n
