Per the FDLP Legal Requirements & Program Regulations (June 2011):

51.  Depository libraries cannot materially or financially benefit from
the disposal of depository holdings, as these materials remain the
property of the U.S. Government. After following the normal withdrawal
procedures, the depository materials entrusted to the depository library
may be sold as publications or as waste paper. The proceeds of the sale,
together with a letter of explanation, must be sent to the
Superintendent of Documents. Depository materials may never be bartered
for goods or services. (pg.8)

Unfortunately, I think that would be considered bartering.

One correction, if I may.  Christopher says below:

>But if they are stamped  depository, by law they can only be given to another institution or be recycled.  Shame, but that's the system.

Not quite.  I actually e-chatted with Robin Haun-Mohammed at the GPO
about this last week.  Depository materials can be given to another
institution, or recycled, but they can also be put out for interested
parties to take away.  The big no-no is (as Chris said) that they can't
be sold in any way.  In fact, if you recycle them and get money that
way, the money has to go to GPO.
