RECYCLE IT @ THE LIBRARY
As part of our mission the Abington Community Library offers receptacles for recycling the following: American flags, glasses, mobile phones, ink jet cartridges, and special items on occasion. Of course we always welcome your gently used books (for all ages), DVDs, CDs, and talking books on disc for our Friends Book Sales.

Here is a link to a document provided by our Clarks Summit Boro recycler explaining what they will take:
