[Michlib-l] solutions for weeding and book sale leftovers

[SPA Lois Lovell]

We use Paper Gator.  These are dumpsters that schools, churches, etc. 
place in their parking lots as fund raisers for their institutions.  They 
receive money for every full dumpster. Everything dumped is recycled, so  
no only are you being environmentally responsible, you are also helping a 
local school or church receive funds.  They don't take plastic, so if the 
books you are dumping are covered with book covers, these would have to be 
removed. Not sure if Paper Gator is in your area.  I suppose you could 
Google it.  Lois
