Place a Container in Your Town!

Many residents, businesses, and organizations often don't know what to do with their used books. Because of our exclusive, free book donation pick-up service and conveniently located drop-off sites available to all New England residents, business, and groups, Got Books has made significant strides in collecting and reusing donated books that otherwise might get thrown out or recycled. We make it easier and provide good reason for individuals and groups to keep books out of the waste stream.

"Past experience had shown them [Got Books] to be customer focused, flexible, and easy to deal with."

Pam Irwin, Recycling Coordinator, Regarding Danvers Earth Day

"We do not have the money to pay people to remove hard covers from books, so they end up in the trash. Now these useful books will have a second life. It is a win-win situation for everyone."

Tim Price , Recycling Coordinator, Holyoke DPW

"We're trying in every way to make use of what comes out of a household. This is an important development because something that used to be thrown away in significant amounts into the landfill now has good use."

Virginia Valiela, Executive Director, Greater New Bedford Regional Refuse Management District
