[Libs-Or] Recycling of withdrawn books

[DAVID Emily]

Hello all -

All of our withdrawn items go to the Friends of the Library and they choose to put them in the Bring 'em Back collection or the Friends Bookstore or to discard them.

For discarded items, we have a relationship with St. Vincent de Paul where they leave three bins in the Friends of the Library sorting area and pick them up every few weeks, or whenever they are full. Anything that is not chosen for the Friends bookstore or Bring 'em Back collection is placed in the bins (withdrawn items as well as donations that are not sale-worthy) and StdP sells them at their stores.

Best,

Emily David  (she/her)

Hello Oregon library community!

We have recently lost the service that used to come pick up our withdrawn books for resale and recycling. Have any of you found solutions beyond selling what you can at book sales, giving away what you can for outreach, and trashing the rest? We'd love to find another recycler.

It's been a while since I had to research this and I'd love to hear about any new alternatives.

Thanks!
Lori
