The problem is nobody throws away these books, as well as textbooks in 
other fields.

I would like to ask people to do a quick estimate of how much money one
has to spend in order to have a set of undergrad textbooks in each fields
(IT, engeneering...). Just a bare minimum, please. 

In physics, my bare minimum is one good textbook on general physics,
around $80-90 here (for non-physics students).
