- Angela Dow and John Wing toss returnables into the back of a plow truck at Auburn Public Works on Friday. Public Works employees collect bottles and cans year round to fight breast cancer and have joined hands with Portland-based radio station Q 97.9 to raise money for the station’s 11th annual Cans for a Cure campaign. “We are hoping to not fill one truck, but five,” said Wing, highway supervisor for the department. Anyone can toss their returnables into the truck from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m until the end of October, said Dow, sporting a shirt with “Real Men Wear Pink” written on the back. Employees are allowed to wear their pink shirts on Fridays during the month of October. “For a bunch of burly truck drivers, that says something,” Wing said.
