I live in the county, and we can just burn stuff so long as its under control.  As a matter of fact, today, I spent 4 hours or so outside burning yard waste, and a huge box of shredded paper.  Fun Fun.  I'm sure if you rip the covers off, any old recycling place will take them.  If you donate them to come charitable org, you'll get a writeoff maybe, and they'll get at least a little money.  Better than nothing.

don't want to just shift the problem onto someone
else, and certainly not a charitable organization I
already think has way too much work.  Of course,
stuffing them into a landfill isn't much better.

Books like "Teach Yourself Macintosh in 24 Hours:
Covers System 8!", "Adobe Photoshop 2.5 - Classroom in
a Book", and "Quick Guide To CorelDraw 5!", will not
fly off the shelves, not even off the shelves of
thrift stores.

Does anyone know of a paper recycler which will handle
the plastic-like paper of computer books?  I'm looking
at a trunk full of these books and I'd like to be able
to take them somewhere where the contents or the paper
will do some good.
