Re-Home or Recycle your books
Our Re-Home or Recycle your books service
We offer our customers a service to re-home or recycle your unwanted books. We accept all books, and for those of sufficient quality to sell to new homes, we pay €0.40 per book in the form of a book voucher. Books not in good enough condition will be recycled responsibly. We also arrange for your books to be collected.
How the process works
- On completion of checkout, you will receive an email with your order number.
- Once your box(es) is/are ready for collection email us at sales@thebookshop.ie quoting the order number and we will arrange courier collection at the given address.
- Please note the following:
- Collection costs €5 per box (up to 30kg)
- Vouchers are paid at €0.40 per book.
- Processing this product in no way commits you to sending us books.
- Once your box(es) is/are is ready for collection email us and we will book in the collection.
- The address for collection must be the same as the address entered at the checkout
- Once your books have been processed we will email you a gift certificate
CHECKLIST FOR PACKING YOUR BOOKS:
