[ISLMA-Share] deleted/donated books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

ACI Enterprises in Blue Island does not require covers to be removed etc.
They will also pay you for what they recycle.  They will come out and give
you an estimate and then drop off an enclosed dumpster.  You will need to
take the items to the dumpster and then they pick it up.  They were very
professional to work with and we would work with them again.

I am not sure how far from the Chicago area they will travel.  If you are
interested in the contact information please email me at lwalsh at bhsd228.com
