Keep Schuylkill County Beautiful

One of our county's most valuable resources is our natural beauty. But there are things that can mar that beauty, one of them is trash. Help keep our county beautiful by participating -- either individually or with a group -- in the Schuylkill Keep It Pretty (SKIP) Great Fall Cleanup on September 23, 24 and 25. You can register for the Fall Cleanup by filling out the registration form here by September 20. You can select your own spot to clean up and your bags of trash will be picked up if you leave them on a PA state highway. SKIP will also provide supplies: bags, vests, gloves to those who register. Supplies can be picked up at:

• Borough Halls of Mahanoy City, Orwigsburg, Schuylkill Haven
• Municipal Building of Tamaqua
• Tri-Vet Design & Fabrication in Shenandoah
• Heizenroth Funeral Home of Ashland
• Guilford/gold Mills of Pine Grove
• Agriculture Center on Gordon Nagle Trail

Preventative care is one of the easiest ways to protect your health. To learn more about ways to take care of yourself don't miss "Wellness -- Alternative and Complementary Approaches" at the Schuylkill Rehabilitation Center, 300 Schuylkill Medical Plaza, Pottsville on Wedensday, September 21 at 6 p.m. There will be information on traditional medical care as well as acupuncture, massage and yoga.
