[CASL-L] Donations from weeding project?

[Norton, Keely]

Caveat! Make sure to call the location that houses the donation containers BEFORE you lug all the books you have all the way there! In my case, I got 14 boxes of books in my car only to get there a be told that I have to be at town resident to enter the transfer station where the container is located!!! :( #seriouslycantgiveitaway #destinedforthelandfill

Just called Big Hearted and the closest locations they have to me in Stamford, CT are Wilton and Fairfield. There seem to be a lot more locations as you go north and get closer to MA where they are headquartered. Thanks for the tip!

Big hearted books (website online) but can be slow to pick up. You box books, call and tell them how many boxes, they pick up and redistribute or recycle.

Better World Books doesn’t always love schools (because the books tend to be VERY used). But if they are in as good a condition as you say, you may be able to use them. They ship the books at no cost to you, and you get back a percentage of the proceeds of the sale of any books that sell.

Worth a try!

Good morning!

I am doing a large weeding project this summer, and many of the books would be fine for another school (used but decent condition)...

Does anyone have a particular way of handling this or use an organization or service?
