Book waste to recycle

Recycle Your Books With Plastic Expert

At Plastic Expert, we accept books at a minimum of 3 tonnes (location depending). We have experience collecting books from a range of business types, including distribution companies. You can also donate books to a local charity shop or sell unwanted books online if in a good condition. This may be the best way to dispose of smaller volumes.
It’s important to use a specialist team such as ourselves to recycle your books effectively. Usually, books are difficult when recycling because of the glue that binds them together. However, you can book a slot with our experienced team to have the books collected and recycled.

FAQ

The books are taken to a recycling facility where they are processed, with the paper being de-inked, pulped, and converted into new paper products, while the covers and bindings are recycled into other materials.
The minimum collection for our book recycling service is 3 tonnes of books. This threshold allows us to efficiently manage our resources and provide a more cost-effective service for our clients.
We collect from locations across the UK. Depending on the location, the minimum collection requirement of 3 tonnes may be adjusted to accommodate logistics and transportation costs. Please contact us to discuss the specific details of your location and requirements.
For some waste we can offer a rebate for paper, scrap plastic and cardboard, for others there is a collection charge. Our service is usually more cost effective than using a general waste collector. If you’d like a quote for a specific collection, please get in touch.
