Eagle Project
Nick Kaminski, a Life Scout from Troop 366 of West Wyoming, is looking to raise money for the cost of his Eagle Project. His project is to replace the signs that welcome everyone to West Wyoming, and to put a sign in front of the West Wyoming Town Hall, identifying it as this. To achieve his Eagle rank, the highest rank in Boy Scouts, part of it includes doing a project for a non-profit organization or community.
Any donations will be greatly appreciated. Please make checks payable to: Boy Scout Troop 366. Send to: Nick Kaminski 449 Washington Ave West Wyoming, PA, 18644.
Recycling
The West Wyoming Borough Recycling Program will continue to be held on Wednesdays in the Town Hall Parking Lot in 2009. Trucks will be available weekly. Residents are asked to only place recyclable material in the designated containers. Collections include corrugated cardboard, commingled recycling and newspaper.
