While the best option is to donate your old books, a lot of charities will reject them if they aren't in good condition or if they are seriously out of date. The simplest solution for outdated or worn-out books? Recycle them. Paperback books can be recycled with regular office paper, and hardcover books just need their jackets removed before placing all of the pages in a paper recycling bin. The jackets should be discarded in the trash.
