Surplus Textbooks

Please follow the instructions outlined in the Cache County School District Surplus Textbook Disposal Guide (shown below) for proper disposal of surplus textbooks and curriculum materials.

Disposal of Surplus Textbooks and Media Book

Question: What are considered surplus textbooks and media books?

Answer: Books that are not usable, due to age or condition and/or have been replaced by a new curriculum adoption.

Please do the following with any surplus books at your location:

1. Put books in boxes (not overflowing) and tape shut.
2. Stack books at a central location such as the office.
3. Mark boxes as “D.O. SURPLUS BOOKS” or print the sign (see next page) and tape it to surplus boxes.
4. Boxes will be picked up by the warehouse truck twice yearly on the dates below. If boxes are not ready for pick-up on these dates then the school must store them until the next available pick-up date. Please DO NOT send or bring surplus books to the district office and drop them off.
   • Pick-up 1: Monday & Tuesday Before Thanksgiving
   • Pick-up 2: 2nd Week of June
5. Surplus books will be redistributed as needed or stored at a District Office storage unit until disposal.
6. Surplus books are disposed of by Follett as part of a State contract. Surplus books that do not have a market value and do not meet donation guidelines are recycled by Follett. Visit Follett's Website for more information.
