+## Removing Unused Services
+**NOTE:** This feature is currently in beta. If you have general questions about usage or would like to report a 
+bug, please open an issue with us [here](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php/issues/new/choose). If 
+you have feedback on the implementation, please visit the [open discussion](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php/discussions/2420) 
+we have on the topic.
+
+To avoid shipping unused services, specify which services you would like to keep in your `composer.json` file and
+use the `Aws\\Script\\Composer::removeUnusedServices` script:   
+
+```
+{
+    "require": {
+        "aws/aws-sdk-php": "<version here>"
+    },
+    "scripts": {
+        "pre-autoload-dump": "Aws\\Script\\Composer\\Composer::removeUnusedServices"
+    },
+    "extra": {
+        "aws/aws-sdk-php": [
+            "Ec2",
+            "CloudWatch"
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In this example, all services deemed safe for deletion will be removed except for Ec2 and CloudWatch.  When listing a
+service, keep in mind that an exact match is needed on the client namespace, otherwise, an error will be
+thrown. For a list of client namespaces, please see the `Namespaces` list in the 
+[documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v3/api/index.html). Run `composer install` or `composer update` 
+to start service removal.  
+
+**NOTE:** S3, Kms, SSO and Sts are used by core SDK functionality and thus are unsafe for deletion. They are excluded
+from deletion in this script.
+If you accidentally remove a service you'd like to keep, you will need to reinstall the SDK.
+We suggest using `composer reinstall aws/aws-sdk-php`.
