Never Throw in the Trash

Most e-readers contain hazardous chemicals that can leach into the environment, so don’t throw them in the trash.

Remove Personal Info

Before donating or recycling an e-reader, remove all sensitive and personal information from the device. Barnes & Noble has instructions on how to clear your Nook of personal data.
