Recycling Policy
At our bookshop, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainability. We do this by:
- Recycling a large amount of second hand books that we receive from our customers and suppliers. We either resell them at a discounted price or donate them to local schools and libraries.
- Recycling some cardboard packaging that we use for shipping and storing our books. We also reuse boxes and envelopes whenever possible.
- Recylcling bags for life from our customers who sell or donate books to us. These bags are made of recycled materials and can be used multiple times.
- Donating money to environmental charities every month. We support various causes that aim to protect the planet and its biodiversity.
We hope that you share our vision and values and join us in our efforts to make the world a greener place. Thank you for choosing our bookshop!
Please contact us if you have books to donate, or if you have a charity or instutution that requires books.
Unfortunately we do not have the resources to collect books for free without photographs of the books in advance. Get in touch or send us photos if you have books to sell or donate, we also have a seperate page for books that we can buy.
