Recycling Centers in Massachusetts

This whimsical Davis Square gift shop is the place to find local crafts year-round. Opened by owner Dave Sarkowski in 2006, the work of over 175 New England artists can be perused inside the cheery lime-green space. Sarkowski prides himself on his selection of handmade items and unusual gifts, from fun cards and ironic notebooks to art T-shirts, one-of-a-kind toys and jewelry by independent designers.

Luke's Liquors is a landmark in Manomet Center. In addition to a host of spirits and beer (imported, domestic and micro-brew), Luke's offers a bottle-redemption center and hosts tastings.

The only licensed auto-recycler in the Boston area, Nissenbaum's has been offering a full range of new and used auto parts since 1910.  After a century of business this shop is still in family hands, the fifth and sixth generation of Nissenbaum can be found sleeves rolled up and greasy handed going about business. Inside, stacks of tires, used engines on blocks and boxes of auto parts line every wall.  The helpful employees behind the counter will scrounge up even the most esoteric part for your vehicle.  

A mecca of sorts for the antique bibliophile, Ars Libri maintains the largest stock in America of rare and out-of-print books on art. This business has books, both old and new, on topics as diverse as classic modernism, German expressionism, Russian constructivism, architecture, post-war modern --and a variety of other "neo"'s and "isms'-- all in the modern, open space.
