How Does The Book Recycling Service Work?
01. Contact Our Team
When contacting our team, let us know the quantity of books, their condition and your collection location.
02. Receive A Quote
We will then provide you with a quote for your book waste collection. Our team can then arrange a collection day to suit your businesses schedule.
03. We Collect Your Waste
The waste will be transported to licensed recycling centres where the old books will be repurposed. This saves raw materials from being overused in production.
BOOK RECYCLING SERVICE
We Recycle Books Nationwide
Do you have a bulk load of book waste ready to be disposed of? Whether this is on an ad-hoc or regular basis, we can collect & recycle all of your unwanted books effectively. Our team are specialists in book recycling and can repurpose the waste into new products.
We do not, however, accept books from households. Please take these to specific recycling centres; you should not use your recycling bins at home to dispose of them. This can hinder recycling because of the glue which binds the books. If they are in good condition, you may sell the books or take them to charity shops and local libraries.

It’s important to note that we cannot collect books from households. To dispose of this waste correctly, you can use household waste recycle centres and local charity shops to donate books.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Recycle Hardback Books?
Yes, hardback books can be recycled, but the process differs from paperback books due to the durable covers. Some local recycling programs may require you to remove the cover and binding before placing the pages in a paper recycling bin, while professional businesses such as ourselves can handle the entire book.
If recycling isn’t an option, consider alternatives like donating unwanted books to a charity shop, local library, thrift store, or a book swap event. This way, you can give books a second life instead of having to throw away books.
What Happens To Recycled Books?
Recycled books go through a process where the paper is separated, pulped, and reused to create new paper products. Through a recycling centre, the pages of paperback books and hardbacks (once the covers are removed) can re-enter the production cycle.
For example, books can be transformed into new notebooks, writing paper, or printer paper through the recycling process.
