People are really hesitant to destroy books. Probably as a result of their previous record with censorship. But the fact is probably 90% of what you have is literally garbage. Call a few bookstores or libraries or whatever, let them take what they want, then just recycle the rest.

If this makes you feel bad for some reason, you can donate them to goodwill instead and they'll do it for you:

Sadly, I worked for a while as a "e-commerce bookseller" at Goodwill, and they trash/shred/recycle most of the books.

No one wants your "intro to world history, 1987 edition" textbooks, you know?

The Little Free Library I pass every day seems to have a problem with people who have difficulty with throwing out useless books, so they put them in the Little Free Library. I actually took out and put in the trash 2 books that were helpful looking guides to the city's schools - published 20 years ago. I've also seen a lot of 10 years out of date tourist guidebooks and guides to Windows 95.

Hey man, this copy of The Idiot's Guide to Windows 95 has untold historical value.

You know who else destroyed books? Nazis. You're not a Nazi, are you?
