About Onyx Book Recycling

Onyx Book Recycling was founded in 2002 by Jim Dognomed.

The primary mission of Onyx Book Recycling is to be a provider of books and to repurpose as many books as possible in order to keep them out of landfills.

Our small company has grown from 5 people back in 2002 to over 250 employees now in 2016. We went from a 500 sq. ft. warehouse to a 5000 sq. ft warehouse and have served tens of thousands of local residents and millions of online customers. We currently buy and sell the following types of books and media:

  • Books
  • CDs, DVDs & Blu-Ray

We have a warehouse in downtown New Haven which is home to thousands of books of different types. We sell these books out of our location as well as prepare books for shipment to be sold online. We also buy books from the public as well as offer trade in services for credit.

Our Mission is to keep books and media out of landfills by getting them back into the hands of people who can use them.
