5. Disposal
Libraries Tasmania may dispose of items that have not been selected for retention as archives via the appraisal process. This autonomy is to be clarified during the acquisition process and recorded in deposit agreements.
In these instances, the items are to be returned to the donor or with the donor’s consent provided to other collecting institutions or organisations.
Where items have been identified as having no alternative use, environmentally sustainable practices such as recycling will be used for disposal.
