Two years ago I placed a number of books that my mother had compulsively collected into the recycling bin. The workers refused to take them.
I tried several approaches--all requiring a week's worth of waiting--such putting a label to the effect "please recycle these" to drastically limiting the number of books in the bin, thinking it could be a weight-laziness issue.
None of the books were even taken from the nice green bin.
When I filled a plastic garbage can chuck full of books, they were eaten by the big smelly truck no problem.
Such is my personal experience with recycling books.
Burning them...unless you have a place for a bonfire, it is quite a challenge.
