Try this site:

I use it to get rid books I don’t want anymore for books I do want. It’s fun, free, and easy!
Please tell them bluestar referred you.

Recycle them definitely. Those books are obselet – you are not doing anyone any favours by giving them away. I would agree with those other answers if they were novels but computer books from the 90s? Travel books from the 90s? No way, no-one wants those.

Pass them on. Leave them in train or bus stations/bus stops. Waiting rooms. Recycle the ones that are hopelessly outdated.

I'd take them to the hospital, or cancer center in your area. Believe me it will be greatly appreciated. Also convalescent homes have alot of residents who love to read. I wouldn't dump them in a recycle bin. Hope this helps you.

Give them to Goodwill, Salvation Army, sell them to half-price books. Put them in a box in your driveway that says "free books". Throw them in the garbage disposal. Try to sell them on Ebay. Whatever.

Your local library might take them to use in their book sales. It is amazing what people buy at these sales.

Put them in the recycling bin. It sounds like these books will never be used again.

Any thrift store will take old paperback books and sell them. A good donation for you and you have cleared your space.

You could recycle or offer them to a nearby hospital, homeless center, college, etc. Think of it this way, recycling is giving them a chance to do some good.
