Books

Printed books made from paper and cardboard. 

 

Disposal Options

  • Reusable Books – Donate
  • Unusable Books (Paper Pages) – Recycling Bin
  • Unusable Books (Covers) – General Waste Bin

 

Why

The paper from unusable books can be recycled but covers often contain mixed materials that cannot be processed and should be placed in the General Waste Bin. 

 

Did You Know

Keeping books on your shelf is actually a form of carbon storage; the carbon is locked away rather than released back into the atmosphere.
