Unfortunately those kinds of parking lot boxes are not allowed by zoning in my community. Connie On Tue, Oct 16, 2018 at 9:48 AM SPA Lois Lovell <spall@llcoop.org> wrote:
We use Paper Gator. These are dumpsters that schools, churches, etc. place in their parking lots as fund raisers for their institutions. They receive money for every full dumpster. Everything dumped is recycled, so no only are you being environmentally responsible, you are also helping a local school or church receive funds. They don't take plastic, so if the books you are dumping are covered with book covers, these would have to be removed. Not sure if Paper Gator is in your area. I suppose you could Google it. Lois

My Friends group pays a recycling company to come with a truck and pick up everything left over when the book sale is done. They pay $150 for the pickup. In fact that truck comes tomorrow. Connie

Since Better World Books stopped taking our leftovers, we are left without a destination for our weeds and book sale leftovers. Has anyone found a one-stop solution? [UTF-8?]I’m open to recycling at this point. It is environmentally responsible. What I [UTF-8?]don’t want is a piecemeal solution where people get to come a pick out a box of books at time, leaving me with 57 boxes of books after two weeks of waiting rather than the 62 I started out with. I have an overflowing book closet, and the book sale will render it unnoticeably less overflowing.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
