Monday, October 01, 2007 Book reuse drop-off at our Solid Waste Transfer Station What's better than recycling books? Reusing them! We accept books in our curbside recycling program, and in our mixed paper recycling container at our Solid Waste Transfer Station. The books we receive are recycled. Now, we have two blue cans next to the Transfer Station's mixed paper recycling container. They are labeled "Books to Donate". When you put your paperback and hardback books into these cans, they are reused as books, rather than as paper fiber in our recycling program. The books are picked up by the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation. This is a pilot program for us. For other local book reuse opportunities, check our Use It Again database.
