Laura,
At FSU our withdrawal policy allows for departments to claim print volumes before being consigned or recycled. We complete a property transfer form so the material belongs to them.

I should have clarified below - the departments/individual faculty members want to keep the de-accessioned journals in their departments/offices.
Thanks!

Dear colleagues,
We recently acquired all of the JSTOR journal packages and are in the process of de-accessioning print overlap for titles that did not have perpetual access before this acquisition. We've been doing JSTOR print overlap withdrawals for years and typically send this material for recycling. With this new influx of overlap, we have faculty and even whole academic departments on campus requesting the print journals that would be recycled. Alas, we did not have a very strong statement of our policy/procedures for de-accessioned journal materials.
Have you run into situations like this? How did your library respond? What kinds of benefits or challenges did you find with your response?
Many thanks,
Laura Turner
