5.15 Your Depository Cannot Financially Benefit from the Sale, Transfer, or Disposal of Government Materials

Libraries cannot materially or financially benefit from the sale, transfer, or disposal of depository holdings, as these materials remain Government property. After following the procedures listed below, the depository materials entrusted to your library may be sold as publications or as waste paper. The proceeds of the sale, together with a letter of explanation, MUST be sent to the Superintendent of Documents. Depository materials may never be bartered for goods or services.
