Trick-or-Trash Candy Wrapper Recycling

We're still working on filling our candy recycling box. Feel free to keep bringing in wrappers!

Save your candy wrappers instead of trashing them! Bring them to the library and put them in our Trick-or-Trash candy wrapper recycling box.

 

Your candy wrappers will be recycled instead of ending up in landfills or the ocean.
