- What to do
-
Books can be put in your general household waste bin for disposal. They cannot be placed in the purple-lidded recycling bin as the paper in some books has a high level of eucalyptus and makes it difficult to recycle.In addition, the glue or string used to bind books is also not recyclable.
Other recycling options:
Charity book banks are available at Household Waste Recycling Centres.Books in good enough condition to be read again should be donated to charity. - Household waste recycling centre
