Many charity shops accept books however the homeless charity Emmaus in Winchester specialise in identifying premium books so they can be resold to specialist book sellers. Drop off donations at their shop:

Oxfam Books & Music

Charity shop specialising in books and music. Oxfam shops are always delighted to accept donations of quality undamaged items that you no longer want.
Books which are unsuitable for resale cannot be recycled through the paper / cardboard recycling collection due to the glue used in the book binding process. We are not aware of any book recyling points in our area currently.
You can often donate books to secondhand bookshops but we suggest that you contact them first to check.
