How do I schedule a doorstep book pickup in Atlanta?

Schedule through the Give My Books Network - the whole process takes just a few minutes. Pick a service day, set your books outside, and you are done. No sorting, no labeling, no special boxes needed.

What types of books and media can I put out for pickup?

You can set out books, textbooks, children's books, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, and similar media. Items should be clean and in usable condition.

Does Atlanta's humidity cause problems with book donations?

Atlanta's heat and humidity can damage books faster than most people expect. Before your scheduled service day, check your boxes for moisture or musty smells. Dry, clean books in good condition are what partners can actually use.

What happens to my books after the Pick-Up Partner collects them?

Books are sorted and redistributed to readers, schools, libraries, and nonprofits through the Give My Books Network program. Some may be resold to support the partner's business. Items that cannot be reused may eventually be recycled.

Is doorstep book pickup really free?

Yes, scheduling a doorstep book pickup in Atlanta is free. You do not need to be home when the Pick-Up Partner arrives. Simply place your items outside before the scheduled service day.
