How should I recycle greeting cards?

Christmas cards

• Just take your Christmas cards along to your local recycling bank.
• The cards will be recycled into newspapers, power towels and writing paper.

No. Books can’t usually be recycled along with other paper recycling because of the glue that’s used to bind them.

Instead, there are many possibilities for reusing, donating or reselling books.

Donate your books

• Most charity shops will accept second hand books if they are in good condition, as will some libraries.
• Other options include schools, doctors’ or dentists’ surgeries, and hospitals.

Sell or exchange your books

• Try local second hand book dealers, jumble sales or car boot sales.

You can also sell or swap your books online:

• Green Metropolis
• Amazon
• Book Crossing
