91²Ö¿â

In partnership with New Legacy Books, the Fairfax County Solid 91²Ö¿â Management Program placed green donation bins at the I-66 Transfer Station in Fairfax. Hardcovers, paperbacks, and textbooks can be dropped in the bins — just no encyclopedias or magazines. They must have an ISBN barcode and cannot have water damage.

New Legacy Books will then resell most of the books, with a portion of proceeds supporting the county’s recycling services. Those of lower value will go to wholesale book companies for resale. Books that cannot be resold will be recycled.

New Legacy Books also has several donation locations throughout Virginia. Many of these are in partnership with organizations like churches, VFW posts, and fire departments.
