Recycle at the Library with Terracycle! 🌏

Last year, the library received a Sustainable & Resilient New England Libraries grant to purchase Terracycle™  "Zero Waste Boxes” to be housed at the library, and they have now arrived! 

The boxes are located in the hallway between the Community Room and the Friends' Donation Center.  


This project gives the public the opportunity to recycle things that are difficult, or impossible, to recycle otherwise. Each receptacle has signage stating what it is collecting along with details about what can be included and what cannot be placed in them.


Please take a look at the categories and their descriptions to decide what you can collect at home and bring into the library to place in the appropriate receptacles!
