Trading in your Used books for a Discount Credit
As of 3/23/2021
Please contact the store first & let them know what day you will be bringing books.
1 or 2 bags of clean, used books at a time per customer, please.
Store offers 50% off of used-book prices with your trade-credit! The amount we issue will be in the computer under your name to use at each purchase until credit runs out.
They will give you back the books we pass on.
Please – anything broken or soiled don’t bring.
They don’t pay cash for books – they offer a trade-credit. They look at the books you bring, and once they’ve selected the titles they think we can resell, they offer approx. 1/2 of our estimated retail price as a credit. Your credit then pays for up to 50% of the price of used books and up to 25% of the price of any other items; ie new books, stationery or any orders (new or used).
Picture ID is required. They will keep the credit balance in their database. Please make at least one purchase a year to keep your credit active. We don’t pay cash.
See website or call store for more details.

Unfortunately they cannot say if they will be able to buy books without seeing them in person. They pay about 20% in cash/30% in store credit of their retail value.
They buy/trade on Fridays and also on Mondays from 12-4 pm and also by appointment if those times can’t work for you.
If you have more than 5 boxes of books, please make an appointment.
To make an appointment, send an email to selling AT verbatimbooks.com (please replace the AT with an @ symbol) with a picture of the books or at least a cross-section of them to give them an idea of what you have.

The County of San Diego Board of Supervisors unanimously approved updates to the Solid Waste Ordinance on May 5, 2021. This requires all residents and businesses in the densely-populated, and to a lesser extent sparsely-populated, areas of the unincorporated County to comply with new recycling requirements. Densely-populated areas include census tracts that have a population density of more than 75 people per square mile. Click the website link to see how the new ordinance impacts you.
| Single-Family Homes & Multi-Family Complexes with 4 or less units
Residents may demonstrate compliance by:
- Subscribing to a 3-stream collection service with a non-exclusive franchise hauler, or contract with a Certified Recyclable Materials Collector for certain materials.
- Self-hauling all designated materials. Registration with the County is required and Self-Haulers will be required to maintain receipts or a log of self-hauling activities for 3 years and submit them periodically or upon request to County staff. Contact Recycle@sdcounty.ca.gov for information.
Waiver from Service Requirements
Single family residences in the densely-populated areas, including multi-family premises with 4 or less units, who manage all organic materials generated on-site may apply for a waiver from organic recycling service requirements. Learn more here. |
| Businesses & Multi-Family Complexes with 5+ units
How do I Comply?
Generators may demonstrate compliance by:
- Subscribing to a 3-stream collection service with a non-exclusive franchise hauler, or contract with a Certified Recyclable Materials Collector for certain materials.
- Self-hauling materials. Registration with the County is required and Self-Haulers will be required to maintain receipts or a log of self-hauling activities for 3 years and submit them periodically or upon request to County staff. Contact Recycle@sdcounty.ca.gov for information.
- Maintaining records:
- Tenant or employee education
- Landscaping contracts (if applicable)
- Edible food donation contracts and records (if applicable)
Waivers from Service Requirements
Commercial and multi-family properties (5+ units) may apply for waivers from recycling and/or organics service requirements when de minimis generation occurs, if there are physical space constraints, and/or if all organic materials generated are managed on-site. Learn more about waivers here. |
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Why do I have to pay for a recycling bin from my waste hauler? Waste services are provided by a series of franchise haulers who set their own rates as private companies. As such, when additional services are added, residents will have to pay their haulers for the additional service(s).
- What is right sizing? Right sizing is the process of adjusting your waste collection services to match the amount and type of waste your property produces. The County recommends right sizing services to make them more affordable (such as decreasing the size of your landfill bin once you receive recycling or organics services). In general, using cart services only instead of a dumpster service should result in a cheaper waste bill.
- How do I recycle food scraps? Visit How to Recycle Organic Waste for guidelines and tips.
- How do I get a kitchen caddie/compost bin for collecting food scraps? Ask your hauler if they are offering free kitchen caddies, or they can be purchased from many home goods, home improvement, and online shops.
For specifics on the solid waste ordinance please view the following web pages, depending on your area*:
*Based on census tract data, densely-populated areas include larger communities such as Spring Valley, Lakeside, Ramona, Fallbrook, etc., while sparsely-populated areas include smaller communities such as Campo, Boulevard, Warner Springs, Ranchita, etc. Verify which type of area you live in here.

We are excited to partner with companies around the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico who have joined our BRAVOLUTION and become drop off locations for gently used or unused bras.
When you drop off your recycled items to a drop off location, please note that in order to receive a tax deduction receipt from us, we need to actually receive the recycled bras. So please follow one of the steps that applies to you:
- Drop Off Location Sends Bras to The Bra Recyclers. Make sure to inquire if the drop off location will be sending the bras directly to The Bra Recyclers. Print out the Bra_Recycling_Form.pdf and include it with your recycled items. Make sure to check that you would like to receive a tax deduction receipt for the items that will benefit the H.E.M.P Legacy Foundation. We have to receive the bras at our location in order to provide the tax deduction receipt. Receipts will not be mailed.
- Drop Off Location DOES NOT Send Bras to The Bra Recyclers. If this is the case, then they donating the bras to a local charity. We would still recommend that you fill out the online Bra Recycling form. You can also print off a copy of the Bra_Recycling_Form.pdf that you can provide to your tax accountant. Since we are not a 501(c)3 you will need to discuss what if your items are tax deductible.
Please note that you can always mail your recycled items directly to The Bra Recyclers, the mailing address is:
The Bra Recyclers
3317 S. Higley Rd, Ste 114-441
Gilbert, AZ 85297
After submitting the Bra Recycling Form online, you will receive via email a non-postage paid return address-mailing label to attach to your package. The label includes a personal inventory tracking code that we will scan upon receipt of the package.
