how to dispose of books
Wife has a few boxes of college textbooks about 10 years old in the basement and it's time for them to go. Hate to throw them in the trash, they're in great shape, used once.
Anyone know a book store that accepts this kind of stuff? I've never donated books before.
Donate to reading and education programs, or even to Good Will or Salvation Army. Never dispose of or destroy books. There is always knowledge or entertainment within them.
My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

I doubt a bookstore is going to want out of date textbooks. Can always put them up for free on craigslist

Some textbooks never go out of date. Physics 101 and calculus 101 haven't changed in centuries, whereas some medical textbooks have changed significantly in less than a decade. A 10 year old software programming textbook may as well get donated to a museum.

Libraries don't take books- if they do, they have to destroy them. I'd post them on Craiglist or if you have a local FB group in your neighborhood, there may be someone wiling to take them off your hands.
What sorts of subjects do they cover? I may be interested.

Any intro to accounting or finance ones?

Any thrift store will take them.
That's what I did with all my paperbacks last year.
