I have a pile of text books which have been sitting in my office for the last 4 months - they are texts that we thought my youngest would need, however in the 2 years since my eldest did the exact same subjects, the school has changed the edition or publisher of the text books and require students to have a copy of the new ones. So we have 8 text books in near new condition that nobody wants. And it's a dilemna for me - I can't find anywhere to donate them and feel bad throwing them out - a challenge many of my clients feel not only about their text books, but about many items in their house in general.
So... for me I'll offer them to the school and if nobody wants them I will recycle them... unless a listener reaches out and can share a charity who sends texts overseas to developing schools!!
If you too are struggling to get rid of text books, here are some tips
- Sell or donate them as soon as you're finished with them to have a higher chance of them being reused by someone else
- See if the school or college would like them to share with students who can't afford their own text books
- And ultimately - recycle them if you can't get rid of them. You won't read them again and they're a big burden to lug around for the next 25 years!
