What to do with books and e-readers
Fortunately, there are several options for recycling and reusing books in the Kansas City area, depending on the type of material and its condition.
Donation and resale
Books and e-Readers that are clean and in good working order can be sold to used book stores, donated to libraries, or donated to thrift stores or donation drop boxes.
Recycling hard bound books
Unusable hard bound books (damaged books, textbooks, reference books, etc.) can either be disposed in the trash, or pages can be torn out and recycled and covers/spines disposed in the trash.
