GREAT Question...
Well at one school I had the principal have a dumpster brought to the window
of the school library, then opened the window and out they went.(actually
dumpster came and went three times)..now this was a major weed, the
principal almost came unglued, but the collection was a museum piece for
sure...NOW I should have done all this in the dark of the night...teachers
suffered all sorts of anxiety over books being tossed out, some got
boxes--even grabbed some as the dumpster was leaving and took them back to
their classroom....That is not my idea of weeding, IF IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR
THE LIBRARY, THEN IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE CLASSROOM....KIDS DESERVE
BETTER....The principal over the past few years has been very successful in
securing additional funds annually (at one time 18K) to get the place in
good shape. If we had kept those old tombes he would not have gotten a red
cent to replace them.

Subject: Do you have trouble with disposal?
Hello to my colleagues.
I've found in the archives guidelines for weeding. But what about getting
rid of the weeds? Do you take them to a dumpster? Has anyone brought
discards back to you? Do you donate them to a sale? Has all gone smoothly
for you?
We all have heard stories about people who can't believe we throw anything
away. But are they merely stories? Thanks for your summertime (in the
Northern Hemisphere!) help.
