SalemRecycles Free Book Swap & TerraCycle Collection
March 18 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
SalemRecycles Free Book Swap returns to the Community Life Center at 401 Bridge Street on Saturday, March 18 from 10:00am-1:00pm! Swapping isn’t necessary — you may donate, take away, or both.
In addition to books, the swap accepts CDs, DVDs, video games, records (all in original cases, please), plus puzzles and greeting cards. All items must be clean, dry, and mildew free. Sorry, no magazines or VHS and cassette tapes.
TO DONATE, please drop off at the Community Life Center on Friday, March 17 from 4:00-7:00pm, or Saturday, March 18 from 9:00am-noon.
All leftover materials will be donated or recycled.
