Donating books has positive impacts as it cuts down on waste, allows others to enjoy a book they want or need and clears out space and clutter in homes. Donation books are given to others in need or sold to raise money for charity organizations. If donated books are not in salvageable condition, they are usually recycled. Some charity organizations provide free pick-ups while others require that books be dropped off.
