Book Recycling
in Hastings-on-Hudson
The Book Bin is next to the Textile bin in the Hastings MetroNorth parking lot. Please use it! Map link.
You can donate unwanted but resellable books to the Hastings Public Library in their Barkin Corner Book Shop room, or to the Hastings PTSA during its book fair receiving window. Or, drop your unwanted books in the Bay Street bin in the train station parking lot anytime (formerly serviced by Discover Books). Bay Street seeks to find homes for all books.
ZWAT members researched extensively to identify the most environmentally responsible book recycler in the area and worked with the Village to get this bin installed. Books in can be deposited in the bin at any time.
