Pruning

Selected obsolete, redundant, or low-use stocks are periodically removed from the collection to make room for new additions. Stocks in the lists available from the links below are candidates for removal from the BDSC collection. Stocks will continue to be available to order as usual for at least six weeks after posting on this page. If you think a listed stock warrants continued maintenance at the BDSC please contact us. Candidates for pruning are selected for a variety of reasons, usually one of the following:

  • Identical or functionally equivalent stock component is available in another BDSC stock
  • Stock is available from another stock center
  • Stock has received little or no use in recent years
  • Stock purpose has been superseded by other stocks in the collection

Please join our mailing list if you wish to receive email notification whenever new discard candidates are posted here. We only send a few emails a year. To join, please go to the BDSC mail list homepage, click “Subscribe”, type in your email address, click "submit" and follow the instructions (you will not be asked to pick a password).
