If you don't want to donate or recycle your text books then you can also sell these books.
I usually donate those old books to other child. And from few years, I ask for used text books from other parents. Parents can help each other in this process of recycling. It is not only good for environment but a way of saving bucks.
Recycling tips:
- Best way to recycle used text books is to communicate other parents or teachers around your community. Ask other parents for exchange of unused text books.
- Educators may encourage parents to grow a habit of recycling of used text books.
- There are many online sites which can help students or parents, buying used text books at very cheap rates.
- Donate to charities, public libraries or local schools. They can utilize your used books themselves or sell them for fundraising.
