Palmyra Area Recycling and Disposal Information
The Salem UCC Creation Care Team in conjunction with the Missions Committee has developed a page of information on our area’s recycling and disposal options. You can download the file here: Recycling-Disposal-Information.pdf. We recommend keeping this information on your phone, if possible, for handy access (and to save trees!).

Little Free Library
Please visit our Little Free Library in our main parking lot.
The Little Free Library is a wonderful box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share. It is a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. Reading certainly does change lives.
See LittleFreeLibrary.org for more information on how this works.
