The Adams County Office of Solid Waste helps residents with clean-ups and disposal of litter and other solid waste. It assists in a program called "From the Ground Up" which utilizes prison volunteers to pick up litter from the streets of Gettysburg. It also has on-going clean-ups and will deal with reports of specific community litter problems and illegal dumping. It participates in United Way's National Join Hands Day in organizing litter clean-ups. Local newspapers are the Gettysburg Times and The Evening Star.
