At Washington State University, we discard all library materials as
surplus property.  You can see our policy at

   http://www.wsulibs.wsu.edu/Collections/policies.htm

It's the second bullet.

We are not allowed to give away state property or to sell it ourselves.

We have the option of placing valuable items on consignment at Surplus
Stores, but it is a hassle and we don't often do it.
