There are several options for what to do with old textbooks, including:
- Sell your books: You can sell your used textbooks on sites like Amazon, BookByte, and Cash4Books.
- Donate your books: Consider giving your books away as a donation to your local library or Better World Books.
- Ship your books: You can ship your books to organizations like Books for Africa or Operation Paperback.
- Recycle your books: If your books are no longer useful, you can recycle them.
- Trade your books: You can trade your books on sites like BookMooch or PaperBackSwap.
- Make a free book box: You can create a free book box in your community where people can take and leave books.
- Decorate with books: You can use old books for creative projects such as making book sculptures or using them as a base for a homemade journal or notebook.
If you cant sell your textbooks, donate them to benefit education locally and abroad. If you think you may refer to them in the future or if they have sentimental value, you can keep them.
