i don't think they can be recycled because of the glue in the spine


there's an organisation called www.bookcrossing.com - basically you tag your books with a unique ID then leave them somewhere like a cafe or park bench, when someone picks them up they can log on to tinternet and you can see how far round the world your book has gone!!


alternatively you could donate to an old folks home, or hospital

thanks for info, peeps - Ant, I ran up to Sainsbos prior to posting and their recycling centre doesn't have a place for books - neither does the one at Belair Park. Tillie, I've got three boxes of them - but they aint novels, they're mainly textbooks and popular science/psychology stuff (so not sure how appreciated they would be in an old folks home). I agree that books shouldn't go to the graveyard. If you want a rummage (so to speak) PM me.

Mmmm, don't think that's actually how greenmetropolis works actually. It's a selling site - you list your books on their site; they sell them; you get money, they get money - and 5p goes to the Woodland Trust. If going down this route, you will usually get a better price for your books on Amazon where they are more likely to sell and you can make your own charitable donation.

    • Hello,  Does anyone know of a garage to rent in the East Dulwich area?  Best,  Anthony 
    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
