I’ve sold or swaped about half our books. I’ve made about $100 so far (excluding shipping). And I used
old cardboard boxes to ship many of the books. For paperbacks, I shipped the books using paper.

There are some books that we picked up from someone else’s trash. The covers are torn or missing and these will be dropped off at the local thrift store since I can’t sell or swap them.

I’ve also begun to cut down our collection of bottles. Most of the bottles were holding other things such as bulk spices. As I finish them, I rinse the bottles and set it aside for recycling.
