[CASL-L] Donating Books

[Wayne Prescott]

Just wanted to share my personal experience with the BWB drop location in
Bristol. The box is inside the Bristol Transfer Station complex and IS NOT
accessible unless you are a resident of Bristol and have a paid transfer
station permit. I stopped by yesterday with about 100 books for discard and
they were very kind to let me drop them off (I don't live in Bristol) in
exchange for my promise to spread the word this donation location is not
available to the general public. One other thing to note is the drop boxes
are not that large; a bit smaller than the typical clothing donation bin
you see in various places.
