How do I schedule a book donation pickup in Atlanta Georgia?

You schedule your free pickup through the Give My Books Network online. Just enter your address to check if a Local Pick-Up Partner serves your ZIP code. If your area is covered, you pick a service day and set your boxed or bagged books outside. You do not need to be home.

What types of books can I put out for pickup?

Most books and media qualify for pickup, including hardcovers, paperbacks, children's books, textbooks, cookbooks, audiobooks, DVDs, and graphic novels. Set aside books that are water-damaged, moldy, or falling completely apart. When in doubt, include it and let the partner make the call.

Do I need to be home when the pickup happens?

No, you do not need to be home on your scheduled service day. Just place your boxed or bagged books outside in a visible spot before the pickup window - near your front door, on your porch, or at the end of your driveway.

What happens to my books after they are picked up?

After pickup, your Local Pick-Up Partner sorts the books and redistributes them to readers, schools, libraries, nonprofits, and community organizations across Atlanta. Some items may be resold to help keep the free pickup service running. Items that cannot be reused may eventually be recycled.

What if no Pick-Up Partner currently serves my Atlanta neighborhood?

You still have options. An out-of-area pickup may still be available to fulfill your request. The fastest way to find out is to check your address when you schedule or reach out directly.

Do my books need to be in perfect condition?

No. Gently used books, older paperbacks, and worn textbooks are all welcome. Set aside anything that is water-damaged, moldy, or falling apart. Partners sort items after collection and decide what can reach another reader.
