WAYNE/WAKEFIELD – As members with Wayne Troop 174 Boy Scouts of America (BSA) prepare for their monthly pick-up of paper and aluminum beverage cans the group is also collecting food.

According to a release from Troop 174, nonperishable can or box food items are being requested to be placed in a bag and placed out by the curb or in front of your home by 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 17. These items (listed below) will benefit the Wayne Food Pantry and School Backpack program.

The paper and aluminum beverage can event will also take place this Saturday. These recycled items will assist the Wayne Scouts and help them fund for their scouting adventures. You can turn these recyclables items into a lifetime of scouting adventures.

The scouts accept aluminum beverage cans, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, office and miscellaneous paper, shredded paper, junk mail and paperback books. Chipboard is accepted which is the material that cereal boxes and pop are made of.

Most items that come in the mail are acceptable, even envelopes with windows in them. All types of paper can be mixed together as long as there are no plastic bags. Items with a spiral binding, such as plastic or metal or hardback books with covers must have the cover and binding removed or be kept separate from other recyclable paper items.

Wayne Scouts offer a free curbside pickup the third Saturday of each month as they ask to have these items to the curb by 8 a.m. Items can also be dropped off for the scouts at the Wayne Transfer Station during regular hours.
