The college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination have come to an end, and the summer vacation is coming. One of the worries that parents face before the holidays every year is the large bags of books shipped back from school.
On the Xiaohongshu and Salted Fish platforms, a large number of second-hand textbooks and textbooks have been sold; In the scrap yard, all kinds of textbooks and teaching materials are piled up into mountains......
Some classmates sighed, "Five cents a pound!" Youth is five cents a pound. There are also classmates who posted their "family collections"-
If you don't throw away books from first grade to third year of high school, how many books will there be?
A total of 361.2 pounds, a pound of 0.5 yuan sold for 160 yuan, this time I was finally willing to throw away the books that had been treasured for many years......
A child's mother posted her daughter's textbooks after graduating from the high school entrance examination: the mountain of books stacked in the living room exceeds the size of the child.
Ms. Wu, who lives in Linping Tangqi, posted three large bags of textbooks on the Internet, from elementary school to junior high school, piled up at home like a hill, occupying a large area.
Many parents reported that every summer vacation, in the face of the accumulation of textbooks and tutoring materials at home, headaches come again!
After the high school entrance examination every year, how to deal with a large number of textbooks and textbooks? The Orange Persimmon reporter chatted with parents and students.
Parents: Pick the useful
The rest can only be packaged and sold
Xiao Yang is studying in Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School and is a college entrance examination student in 2024.
Xiao Yang's father told Orange Persimmon Interactive that his son has been saving up the textbooks and textbooks he has used since he was in high school, and when he has almost saved up, he will sell them, and he has to have dozens of catties each time.
At the end of each semester, my son would bring back a large pile of books, which would be piled up to exceed my son's height of one meter seven or eight.
He and his wife picked up a few books that they felt useful, took them to the study and kept them, and in order for the children to study with peace of mind, the family specially opened up a study room for the children, which was more than ten square meters.
But most of the used books and textbooks can't be put at home, so they can only be piled up in the garage. When the summer vacation comes, I plan to dispose of the remaining books.
Xiao Yang's father said, "From the beginning of primary school to the end of the college entrance examination, the books that my son saved were estimated to be hundreds of pounds, and I used that hemp bag many times." There are still some things in the garage that I haven't had time to deal with, all from the last semester of high school.
"In the past, we had to dispose of the textbooks for junior high school and elementary school. I also asked my son for advice, and my son said that he could pick out some textbooks for his cousins, such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, but some other auxiliary materials were basically disposed of. ”
Xiao Li, who took the college entrance examination, studied at Qiantang School of Hangzhou Senior High School.
At noon today, the family worked together to count and pack high school textbooks, which were 65 pounds and sold for less than 30 yuan.
Xiao Li's mother told Orange Persimmon Interactive that her daughter's textbook tutoring materials saved in high school were hundreds of pounds, some of which her daughter dealt with in school by herself, and some of them stayed at home.
Ms. Wang, a friend of Xiao Li's mother, told reporters that her child will take the college entrance examination next year, and she went to Xiao Li's house a few days ago to select a large box of books and tutoring materials for the child.
Xiao Li's mother said that her daughter's textbooks from childhood to adulthood basically need to be cleaned up at every learning stage, such as a batch of primary school graduation, a batch of junior high school graduation, and the same need to be dealt with at the end of the college entrance examination.
"Sorting out books is a very tedious job, and together with our daughters, we have to pick them out one by one, keep them by door, and leave them useful for our friends' children."
Xiao Li said that in the days after taking the college entrance examination, like other students in the class, everyone voluntarily handed over all the books they left in school to the school for disposal. ”
Say goodbye to textbooks that have been with you for three years
There are student bookstalls that they want to share with those who need it
The height of the books saved at home is faster than that of Xiao Zhang. At the end of the college entrance examination, facing a mountain of books, Xiao Zhang sighed that three years passed really fast.
Xiao Zhang said that these books have not had time to be processed, and they have been piled up outside his home, and some textbooks have been given to younger students who are one year younger than him.
Xiao Zhang also planned to wait for the admission notice in a few days, and then go to the school gate to set up a stall, in fact, most of them are given away, and the younger students in the same school are embarrassed to ask for money.
"I don't want to find a collection of waste products to pack and sell them all, they are all textbooks, textbooks and tutorial materials that I have used myself, and I spent a lot of money to buy them at the time, so I am not willing to sell them directly.
"I see that other students sell books and textbooks on Xiaohongshu, and the best ones are the study materials or homework notes of the students who were admitted to Qingbei, which are very popular.
"The most expensive note, 500 yuan for all subjects. And most of them are scanned electronic versions, just a word document, the original notebook people will not sell. ”
Orange Persimmon Interactive learned that Xiao Zhang's results in the college entrance examination were very good, and she applied for Beijing University of Foreign Chinese.
Acquisition station textbooks are piled up
The boss is very emotional!
At noon today, the Orange Persimmon Interactive reporter visited several waste recycling stations in the city to learn about the market of second-hand books and teaching materials.
In a recycling station on Lishui Road in Gongshu District, the reporter did not see the books and teaching materials, and the operator Mr. Li said that the store area is not large, and these books and teaching materials occupy a lot of space, and they have to be sent to the large recycling station as soon as they are collected.
Mr. Li said, "The best time to recycle books is during the summer holidays, which are the peak trading time for second-hand books at the beginning of the summer vacation. ”
At a recycling point in Yuhang, the reporter also did not see the book materials, and the operator's statement, like Mr. Li, was that the store was too small and that the books received every day had to be transported away in time. The price of second-hand books is recycled, and the operator said that it costs five cents per catty of library materials.
At the recommendation of the operator, the Orange Persimmon reporter came to a large recycling site on Liangyun Street. The storage and transportation warehouse is nearly 10,000 square meters, and one of the warehouses is full of second-hand books and teaching materials, mixed with paper and other waste paper products, which have been close to the ceiling and piled up outside the warehouse door.
"More than 10 tons of books and textbooks were just shipped away today!" The eldest brother of the operator is a native of Hubei and has been engaged in the recycling business for more than 20 years.
Faced with a warehouse of books and teaching materials, Brother Dai was very emotional, he said that in fact, in the recycling business, the most difficult thing to deal with is these second-hand books.
"This kind of goods needs to be further manually sorted: books to books, paper to paper, and there are strict requirements in the higher-level processing center."
Brother Dai said that the cost of classification and transportation of these books is very high, "I collect five cents and seven pounds, and I don't earn much except labor costs, but I can't bear to refuse when I see everyone braving the high temperature to transport them from other urban areas, and everyone is very hard." ”
Brother Dai said that during the peak period of summer vacation, the daily recycling of textbooks and books can reach four or five tons.
Facing these mountains of books, he had a complicated mood, "When I was a child, the books we read were never reluctant to throw away and sell ......"
