HARRISBURG — Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and Elk County Solid Waste Authority will host a forum on May 31 for regional, state and local officials to share ideas concerning the management of waste and recycling and enforcement of illegal dumping and littering in Pennsylvania.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Fox Township Volunteer Fire Department fire hall, 381 Main St., Kersey, and those encouraged to attend are municipal and county officials, recycling coordinators, enforcement partners and interested community stakeholders.

The day’s agenda will include a municipal waste and recycling regulatory overview and municipal programs and their impact; a panel discussion focusing on enforcement of illegal dumping and littering on public lands; KPB enforcement support tools and resources available to local communities; and the role convenience centers play in ensuring universal access to convenient and affordable trash disposal and recycling for everything from electronics to household trash.

“We are thrilled that Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has offered to make this event possible, and we are encouraging anyone who has the shared goals of making our communities beautiful places to live, work and visit to attend,” said Bekki Titchner, recycling/solid waste coordinator.

Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP by May 23 to Barb Smerkar, bsmerkar@keeppabeautiful.org or by calling 724-836-4121.
