A BIG THANKS goes out to two Eagle Scouts, Elizabeth and Hannah Yothers, for working with Cleanways on their Eagle Scout projects. We now have educational signs along the driveway, landscaping around our sign, and a convertible picnic table into benches. Westmoreland Fayette Council, Boy Scouts of America

Wish Cycler Wednesday: Finally, after spending what felt like hours unknotting the Christmas lights, you realize they don't work. After you stop swearing, consider disposal options- Christmas lights can be recycled at Westmoreland Cleanways Recycling Center. If that is not an option, put the lights in the trash can. (Do NOT recycle Christmas lights in a regular, curbside recycling bin)

Tuesday Tip: This time of year, many drivers are getting new tires in preparation for winter driving. Keep in mind, tires can't be picked up by the garbage man, and if left outside become a perfect home for vermin and mosquito eggs. Instead, properly disposal of the tires at our Recycling Center or at other tire disposal sites.
