Thanks for Recycling with the Paper Retriever!

The community effort has been great and you've helped the library and the environment by recycling your newspapers, magazines, junk mail, catalogs and paperwork in the green and yellow Paper Retriever in the parking lot at the library, 582 Upper Gulph Road.

The library earns cash for every ton of paper collected and will use it to support community programs. For a complete list of "what" and "what not" to recycle, click here.
