Where the heck you getting all the books? lol

I have a amazon sellers account and would love to sort though a massive pile of dirt cheap books every month.

Definitely see if they'll pay more if you separate you paper products.

Here where I'm at in Ky,

Corrugated Cardboard-$40 ton
Newspaper-$35 ton
Mixed Paper-$30 ton
I do not have a price for office paper as I have yet to get a hold of a pile worth cashing in.

Here the place buys from the public just like a scrap yard, cash paid no ID required.
