Paperbacks are easy to recycle because they are made of 100% paper. Hardcover books cannot be put in your recycling bin unless you remove the binding and just recycle the pages.
Can you put paperbacks in recycling?
For paperback books, you can recycle the book whole, including the binding. ... If either your books or magazines have gotten wet or the paper has turned tan or brown, they should be thrown away with your household trash, as there is no recycling market for this material.
