Instructions

Reusable

Many household items in good, usable condition can be sold at yard sales, given away to neighbors, or donated to local charities and thrift stores.

Magazines and telephone books are often recyclable with regular paper products. Please check with your local recycling provider to confirm if these materials are accepted.

Items that are damaged, broken, or no longer usable should first be checked to see if they are accepted by local recycling programs. If the item is not recyclable, it should be placed in your regular household trash. Proper disposal helps prevent contamination in recycling bins and ensures waste is managed responsibly.

Creative Ways to Sell, Share, or Donate Books & Magazines
Updated July 2025

With 21 Little Free Library locations in Nassau County, there are more opportunities than ever to share the joy of reading in our community. If you have books or magazines you no longer need, consider these thoughtful and creative ways to give them a second life:

• Sell Books Online: Platforms like Amazon or eBay are great for selling gently used books, especially popular titles or textbooks.
• Use Facebook Groups: Local buy/sell/swap groups and marketplace listings are an easy way to pass along literature in your area.
• Donate Locally: Many thrift stores, preschools, and childcare centers in Nassau County welcome book donations.
• Support Classrooms: Teachers often use magazines and catalogs for classroom projects. Consider reaching out to local schools.
• Give to the Community: Craft groups, senior centers, assisted living facilities, and doctors’ offices often appreciate magazines for reading or creative use.
• Sell to Used Bookstores: Some regional used bookstores may buy select titles.
• Start a Little Free Library: Nassau County is home to several Little Free Libraries—small, neighborhood book-sharing boxes open to all. You can contribute to an existing one or start your own. Learn more at Little Free Library World Map – Little Free Library.

If donation or resale isn’t an option, please place books and magazines in your recycling bin—not the trash. Confirm with your local recycling service before placing hardcover books in the bin, as some require the spine to be removed first.

Let’s keep Nassau County clean, creative, and connected—one book at a time!
