On Textbook For The New School Year: The Book Recycling Program
There are several meaningful ways for kids in Singapore to recycle books, supporting both local communities and children in other countries. You can find everything from annual donation drives and convenient drop-off points to organized efforts that send books overseas. A Quick Note on Book Condition: Before donating, please ensure all books are in good, clean condition (no missing pages, scribbles, or damage). Most local programs only accept currently-used textbooks for the new school year.
