Better World Books

Better World Books (BWB) is a company that accepts donations of books and relocates, donates, sells, and recycles books. There are drop boxes in Maryland and Virginia (Individuals - Better World Books Services). Many public libraries send discarded books to Better World Books; if a drop box is not near you, contact your local library branch to see if they use BWB.
