ANY CONDITION — as long as clean, dry, odor-free. Can be new and usable, older and stained, torn or damaged, broken belt, single sock or shoe.

TERRACYCLE — TerraCycle recycles many items that cannot be recycled curbside, and would otherwise end up as trash. The 5 programs we collect are Swiffers, Razors, Oral Care, Burt’s Bees, and Brita. Details are at https://greensalem.com/programs/terracycle-recycling/ . Please keep each category separate when you drop off.
