If you can sort the metal into magnetic and non-magnetic before you come or when you get there (a magnet is attached to the "steel" receptacle for that purpose), it is appreciated.

Do not put food or drink cans here; they go in regular recycling. Volunteers sort the metal (magnetic and nonmagnetic) the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month from 11am-noon at the BI Senior and Community Center, 370 Brien Dr SE. Check it out!

Put mildewed or water-damaged books in the trash. Hardcover books must have the hard cover torn off and discarded. If the thickness of the book is greater than a half inch, tear out the pages in half-inch chunks or less to recycle. E-books (e.g., Kindles) should be recycled at the Bainbridge Disposal Transfer Station in the E-cycle shed. Rethink: Consider hosting a Little Free Library in your neighborhood.
