We're setting up a recycling contract in Medway. At the moment the company is saying they'll only take paperbacks, we're wondering if we do some nifty work with a Stanley knife whether we can sneak our hardbacks in as well. Let me know if you'd like details.

As we are trying to reduce landfill waste, I am keen to know if anyone has any green ways of disposing of old stock? I did hear that the new M6 relief road was built with old Mills & Boons! Any thoughts gratefully received.
