Problem is when son finishes assessment book, I throw it away...don't want to accumulate as it takes up space. -
Every Dec, I chuck all assessment books, papers away.
For textbooks, I keep what could be needed (eg for friends, nephews etc) and chuck the rest away.

I keep son's Eng and Chinese textbooks for younger child. Assessment books if just few pages done, I'll pass to younger nephews or friends (1 year younger than my son). No point keeping since syllabus will change by the time my daughter can use.Every Dec, I chuck all assessment books, papers away.

one year’s text book, activity books, guide book, assessments, other school’s exam papers … all made a big pile of papers in the room
can’t possible accumulate them
kept the P3 - P6 stuff till PSLE is over for revision purpose, then selected some P5/P6 books for keep sake (nostalgic reason) and the rest were sold with the old newspapers lah … -

With no maid, I lay my table with newspapers...easier to throw and clean table also...so no old newspapers to sell to garang kuni.
I'm also keeping son's Eng textbooks (since no more textbooks now for lower pri)...P3/4 Science textbooks/reference books, compo reference books. -
Can dump them into the recycling bins, or if you are living in HDB, there is a box for us to dispose bulky items in. I tried throwing some books into this box and the next thing I know they were gone. So I think either the garung guni has taken them or somebody who needs them may have taken them.
