Please Don't Do This

























Recently someone left a bag of household recyclables sitting in the front stairwell near the recycling and trash bins. Please do not fill the hallway recycling bin with your household recyclables.
Those should be put in the bins outside by the dumpster. The recycling bin in the front hall is intended primarily for things like junk mail and other discarded papers such as magazines and newspapers. It is not intended for glass or plastic bottles or food containers.
Likewise for the trash barrel, it is intended as a convenience for small items, not for wet or smelly household trash.
Your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

BOOK SWAP!



Here is a chance for you to get rid of all of those old paperback and hardcover books, as well as DVDs, VCR tapes, greeting cards and calendars instead of throwing them out or leaving them in the laundry room. Salem Recycles  is holding a Free Book Swap! on Saturday, September 15th from 10 AM to 1 PM at the Salem Senior Center on 5 Broad Street. You don't even have to "swap", you can just drop-off, take-away or both!
Times are also available for the drop off of large numbers of items between 6-7 pm on Friday, September 14, and between 9:45 am and 7 pm on Saturday, September 15. For additional information go to salem.com/recycling, or call 978-619-5679.
