We're committed to sustainable publishing, including a book's "end-of-life." If you've enjoyed reading a book but no longer wish to keep it, why not pass it on to a Community Centre library or to an organisation supporting refugees? Other ways to achieve that are:
Anglo Doorstep Collections is a UK charity that collects books and other items from people's homes for free. Simply enter your postcode, select a date that suits you, and choose the charity you’d like to support. They rehome books wherever possible, sending them to new readers, schools, and community projects so they can continue to educate, inspire, and bring joy. Only books that are too damaged or worn to be reused are recycled responsibly, ensuring minimal waste.
Bookshop.org, the online book marketplace that financially supports local, independent bookshops, has set up Bookloop. To donate your books, register them on the Bookloop website then drop them off at a participating store. Most of the books find new homes through Zeercle reselling them through second-hand bookstores. In exchange for your pre-owned books, you receive store credit which can be used on the Bookshop.org platform.
