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.

    • If people were diligent about not leaving food items out where it is accessible, then we wouldn't have as big a fox problem. Foxes raid trash bins for food and leave rubbish strewn on the pavement.  Other European cities have strict rules on disposal of edibles and they dont have a fox problem
    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
    • It’s hardly likely you know that for a fact Sue
    • I know an instance where the foxes quickly learned how to avoid such devices.
