It seems you are looking for a service that will accept unneeded books and pay
for shipping charges.  Sorry, I don't know of any company that does this.

The first place you should consider for unneeded books is the local library. 
Often there is a shelf where canceled titles and donated books are placed.

Blue Parrot Books, a used-book dealer in Akihabara and Takadanobaba may be
interested in the computer books and Japanese texts.
