I have a ton of old books to get rid of; would like to dump all at once.

Could recycle, but I think I'd have to tear covers off all the hardbacks first.

I doubt the library would want most, nor would a thrift store.

Some are academic (many outdated), many are tech (mostly outdated), and some general entertainment.

I doubt anybody really wants to sort thru 10 big boxes.

All ideas appreciated, short of building a fire for the zombie apocalypse.
