Every Day is Earth Day @ Your Library

As part of our mission, the Abington Community Library offers receptacles for recycling the following: American flags, eye glasses, cell phones, ink jet cartridges, and special items on occasion.  Check under our events table (to the left as soon as you enter the library) for donation bins.

Of course we always welcome your gently used books (for all ages), DVDs, CDs, and talking books on disc for our Friends Book Sales.

Recently we were given a list of "Hard to Recycle Items," put together by Susan McLane, South Abington Township secretary. This alphabetized list explains where to drop off anti-freeze to television sets to everything in between.

Did you know you can recycle mercury thermometers? Did you realize you have to pull the freon out of old refrigerators and AC units before recycling? Do you know how to prep paint before trashing the cans?

It's all in that document. The complete document can be found on our website  under the link to Resource Help on the right side of the document.

If you are unsure about something you would like to recycle or donate, give us a call before bringing it. We will let you know before you bring it all the way here.
