Two bags of outgrown uniforms with the school crest, plus a stack of class 11 books. Anyone near Tellapur take these?

The new year is a few weeks in and we have finally cleared the shelf: last year's class 6 textbooks and guides from our daughter, a full set of class 11 books from our son, and two bags of uniforms neither of them fits into anymore. The school's exchange drive happened in June while we were away, so we missed it. Is there somewhere near Tellapur or Nallagandla that takes these and passes them on properly? I would rather they reach a student than the raddi shop, but I also don't want to drive across town with bags nobody can use.

Uniforms are the easier half. Most schools have their crest on them, so they are only really useful to families at the same school, and a message in your school's parents' group usually finds takers within a day. Books are harder to place than people expect, because editions change and guides are usually written in. Ours is an IB school, so we have very few to deal with, but when a neighbour cleared her son's CBSE set last year, the clean ones went to a building helper's children and the rest went for recycling. Neither of us found one place that took everything.

  Check the class 11 books against this year's list before anyone drives anywhere. If even two titles have changed, no class 11 student will take the set. Class 12 students sometimes want them for revision, though. Ask in your own building first.

  That matches what happened with my son's class 7 books. Two titles had changed, so the set was useless as a set, but a boy in our block took the atlas and the grammar workbook on their own. Sorting the pile against the current list took one evening and saved a lot of carrying around.

Did your school change any titles this year? Ours changed two, which is why last year's set is still sitting in a carton.
