If the glue in the binding is the only problem, a volunteer with a box cutting knife could at least recycle a lot of the material.

(she says, as someone who recycles the guts of abandoned student lab notebooks.)

WHY do Random House make their books un-recyclabe with all the environmental crises we have already??

But they are recyclable - you can recycle ideas from their books! :)O, jkjk, bad joke...)

It seems reasonable, but maybe they are lazy, or maybe there is some faint hope that they can sell them all.

Well--not lazy, per se; it's (slightly-dangerous) work to cut pages out of books, and it's not work that would make the charity money, either. I can see why they haven't yet; it'd be a last resort.
