How to recycle books

  • Books cannot usually be recycled at kerbside along with other paper recycling because of the glue that's used to bind them. However, unwanted books can be recycled at some recycling centres. They can also be passed on to someone else or donated to a charity shop - find your nearest reuse and recycling location below.
