Why Recycled Reads
The Recycled Reads bookstore seeks to advance City of Austin go green initiatives. Items Recycled Reads is unable to sell will go to Books Beyond Borders, which through Project School House provides books and funding to third-world schools and libraries. Unusable items will be sent via Books Beyond Borders to companies that will recycle them into building material. Recycled Reads gives books a second chance and will be an active participant in the City’s Zero Waste Plan by ensuring obsolete materials are handled in an environmentally responsible way by keeping these materials out of landfills. Additionally, the Library will contribute to a socially responsible cause by ensuring that knowledge and learning is passed along to others in need.
