In this day and age I'd suggest that no library needs to collect paper
annual reports of Fortune 500 companies, as they're all on their
websites.  (No, I've not personally checked them all, but we checked a
great many)  We used to have fourteen full legal size cabinets (4
drawers each) containing the last five years of annual reports.  Other
than ones of companies with a local business presence, which went to
Special Collections, the rest all went to the recycler.  We've freed a
great deal of room and hassle in the last six months.
