Plans Set for May 6 Scrap Paper Drive Countywide
Washington county Boy Scout troops prepare for the third city and county scrap collection on Saturday May 6.

Newspapers magazines boxes and all kinds of paper are needed. Boxes should be broken and bound flat. County towns join the city drive with curbside bundles to be left early on May 6.
