Textbook Donations # Textbook Donations in Dallas, TX Textbook donations in Dallas Schedule Free PickupView All Dallas Services # Textbook Donations in Dallas **Quick answer:** Give My Books Network collects textbook donations free from your door across Dallas. Pack the textbooks into boxes, set them out by 8 AM on your service day, and a Local Pick-Up Partner collects them between 8 AM and 8 PM. Older editions are welcome, and there is no cost. ## Where Can I Donate Textbooks in Dallas? Give My Books Network collects textbooks free from your doorstep anywhere a Local Pick-Up Partner serves your ZIP code in Dallas. Pack them, set them out by 8 AM, and the partner takes them between 8 AM and 8 PM. A Local Pick-Up Partner is the locally owned family business that does the collecting. Students near SMU, Dallas College campuses, and UT Dallas use the pickup most heavily, and so do the parents left holding four semesters of chemistry texts after graduation. Schedule Free Pickup ## Are Older Edition Textbooks Still Worth Donating? Yes — an older edition still teaches the subject, and Give My Books Network accepts textbook donations regardless of edition year, which is the single biggest difference between this and a campus buyback counter. Buyback windows close. Editions turn over. A textbook a store values at zero dollars in May still has a reader somewhere, and pretending otherwise is how good books end up in a landfill. Schedule Free Pickup ## How Does End-of-Semester Move-Out Work in Dallas? Schedule the pickup before move-out week, pack the textbooks into boxes, and set them outside by 8 AM on your service day. Local Pick-Up Partners collect between 8 AM and 8 PM, and you do not need to be there. - **Book early.** Move-out weeks fill fast around Mockingbird Lane and every other campus edge in the city. - **Use small boxes.** Textbooks are the heaviest thing in any donation, by a wide margin. - **Stage outside the building.** Partners collect from the door, not from a fourth-floor apartment. - **Leave a gate code** if your complex has a callbox at the entrance.

Give My Books Network accepts college and school textbooks in every subject: math, science, engineering, nursing, law, business, humanities, test prep, workbooks, and lab manuals, hardcover or paperback, current or superseded. Highlighting and margin notes are fine. Mold, water swelling, and missing pages are not, because a book that comes apart in someone's hands has no second life waiting for it.

Use small boxes and fill them only three-quarters full. A textbook box packed to the brim will split at the seam or hurt somebody's back, and neither outcome helps anyone. 1. Small or medium boxes, banker's boxes, or plastic totes. Never one giant box. 2. Keep each container liftable by one person alone. 3. Mix freely. Textbooks, novels, CDs, and DVDs can share a box. 4. Set everything out by 8 AM in a shaded, covered spot, clear of the summer sun.

Local Pick-Up Partners sort textbooks offsite, then redistribute many of them to schools, libraries, nonprofits, tutoring programs, and organizations that request titles through the Give ME Books program. Some textbooks are resold by the partner, and that resale funds the free pickup — worth saying plainly, because textbooks are the category where resale value runs highest. The [Book Donation Programs guide from the American Library Association](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) explains why libraries so rarely take textbooks at all. Items that cannot find a second life may eventually be recycled, as a last resort. Schedule Free Pickup ## What Does Textbook Donation Cost in Dallas? Textbook donation costs nothing in Dallas — no fee, no per-box charge, and no minimum, whether it is four books or four hundred. Give My Books Network and its Local Pick-Up Partners are locally owned family businesses rather than 501(c)(3) nonprofits, so no tax-deduction receipt is issued. If a receipt matters for your filing, a registered nonprofit is the right destination.
