Should I throw my year 11 exercise books away?

so as everyone knows GCSE's are cancelled this year so I was just wondering whether or not I should throw all my year 11 exercise books away. I would normally just hang onto them in case they're needed for whatever reason, but as I may be moving houses it would be easier to just throw them all away. What should I do?

All year 11 books are actually edible, they have a good taste as well so maybe eat them for lunch

Throw them away unless you really need the money.

You can try selling or giving out your notes/books.
Some people in my class gave an IGCSE textbook to a later cohort after we finished the exams last year, because the supplier needed like 4-5 weeks to get the textbooks to them.
My IAL Maths S1 textbook was also in the missing textbooks list and I also waited for a month to get it, so I really feel with them.

for most subjects i had a 2/3 a4 books and i included the loose stuff i'd done too - like past papers and coursework copies - so i put it in a thick a4 envelope and sent it 2nd class signed-for. think i also emailed the buyer any word docs i'd done as well

took photos of my handwriting and grades for the ebay listing

Lol you can almost see the dollar signs pingin off inside her brain hahah
I binned my exercise books then sold my books to a family friend for a cheap price then gave the rest they didnt want to charity. You could keep the ones that contains gcse material for a levels? If you think its easier to bin them, totally go for it
