Pat Croce and KPB take on Illegal Dumping

If you thought Melissa and I were happy to take on the trash epidemic, you should have seen Pat Croce’s face as he urged citizens to report illegal dumping. Croce teams up with Keep Philadelphia Beautiful, launching an anti-dumping campaign to promote civic responsibility and beautify the city.

From Keep Philadelphia Beautiful:

“ ‘Mr. Philadelphia’, Pat Croce recently lent his support to a new public service campaign geared towards reporting illegal dumping in the City of Philadelphia. Croce shot a public service announcement and sat for photos to be used on a tip card that will accompany the public service announcement with more information.”

‘Illegal dumping is a citywide issue,’ says [Keep Philadelphia Beautiful Executive Director Phoebe] Coles. ‘The thoughtless people that participate in illegal dumping are breaking the law and should think twice about it.’ ”

Fines will be enforced, so, like Pat Croce, be encouraged to curb the dumping problem by reporting it to the local authorities. Look for illegal dumping, and Croce’s commercial, and be sure to visit Keep Philadelphia Beautiful for more information on the campaign.
