Donate Books at the Williamsburg Transfer Station
Looking to give your books to a good cause? The town of Williamsburg
has partnered with Got Books to place a drop-off donation and
reuse container for residents, businesses, schools, libraries, and
other groups who wish to contribute books they no longer have a use
for. The bin will also accept CDs, DVDs, videos and audio books.
The Got Books donation container is conveniently located at
the Williamsburg Transfer Station on 27 Mountain Street. The
container is available for donations from all residents every
Wednesday and Saturday from 9:00am-4:00pm.
Choose to reuse! Donating books is a great way to keep them out of
the waste stream and give them a new life with someone who will
treasure them as you once did.
In addition to helping divert waste from landfills, many of these
donated goods will be sold in book sales to benefit local nonprofit
groups.

dedicated to keeping books out of the trash. Got Books raises money
for local charities and nonprofit groups by hosting weekly Charity
Book Sales at their warehouse located at 35 Concord Street in North

book-donation bins placed throughout New England.
