RECYLING OLD BOOKS

Due to the expense involved in disposing of large quantities of unsuitable material, we ask that you examine your material carefully following the above guidelines. Bedford residents can recycle their books at the Town of Bedford Recycling Center on Adams Street – remove the front and back of the hardcovers. Alternatively use your trash carrier.

TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS

All donations are tax deductible – ask for a receipt. Determination of quantity and value are the responsibility of the donor alone.
