- A host town is the town in which a collection is physically taking place.
- If another town is listed in the schedule with the host town, that is the co-host town. There may be one or two co-host towns.
- Residents of host and co-host towns may attend their own town’s collection at no charge. Proof of residency is required*

TIPS FOR DAY OF COLLECTION
- DO NOT BAG your materials, it makes it difficult for us to assess them.
- BRING A BOOK: Lines can sometimes be long, especially in the first hour of a collection. We strive to keep wait times under a half hour, but it is not always possible.
- Walk-ins (as opposed to drive-ins) are not allowed, due to safety issues.
