What to do with old Hardback Books?IMG00053-20100302-1443_thumb

ACC Recycling Division and Athens Regional Library is partnering with Better World Books to capture hardback books from the waste stream. Better World Books is a for-profisocial enterprise that collects used books and sells them online to raise money for literacy initiatives worldwide


Locally, they donate a portion of the book sale proceeds to the Athens Regional Library. While ACC Recycling Division wants you to first donate books to the ACC Library, the Better World Book bins offer an alternative for books that our library is not interested in reusing.

A Better World Book Bin is located at the CHaRM site, 1005 College Avenue.

What about softcover books?

Softcover books can be recycled in your mixed recycling.
