Haringey Council’s recycling and waste management services provider Veolia Environmental Services has joined forces with educational charity READ International to provide dedicated book recycling points throughout the borough. School children from Greig City Academy in Hornsey and Rokesley Infant School in Crouch End have helped launch a new book recycling scheme in Haringey, donating their old books to help raise money to buy school books for young people in Tanzania. The books from the banks will be sold or recycled to raise revenue for READ to purchase locally relevant books in Tanzania. The aim is to extract as much value as possible from every book collected – no book is ever sent to landfill. The education team from Veolia in Haringey do a lot of work with local schools to offer recycling programs and waste related workshops. Schools across the borough have already been promoting the book banks to their pupils who have started thinking about books that they don’t read at home anymore that they could donate to the charity. The book recycling points are situated at the following locations: Town Hall Approach Road, N17 Turnpike Lane, N8 - Junction with Green Lanes and High Road Colney Hatch Lane, N10 – Junction with Alexandra Park Road Tottenham Lane, N8 – Junction with Rokesley Avenue North Hill, N6 – Outside Hillcrest Estate
