There is no pickup fee, no per-box charge, and no minimum for a Dallas video game pickup. Local Pick-Up Partners fund the free service by reselling part of what they collect, which is exactly why the collection itself costs the donor nothing at all." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will you take an old console that no longer turns on?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Probably not, and here is the honest reason: a dead console has no second life waiting for it. Give My Books Network accepts working consoles, handhelds, controllers, and cables. If the machine still runs, set it out. If it has water damage or a snapped port, leave it out of the box." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do I need to be home when the Local Pick-Up Partner arrives?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No. Set your packed box out by 8 AM on your service day in a shaded, covered spot, and the Local Pick-Up Partner collects it sometime between 8 AM and 8 PM. Most donors across Dallas never meet their partner in person, and that is by design." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can books and DVDs go in the same box as the video games?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes, and they should. Give My Books Network asks nobody to sort. Hardcovers, paperbacks, children's books, textbooks, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, vinyl records, board games, and puzzles can all ride in the same box as the cartridges. The sorting happens offsite, one item at a time." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What happens if an ice storm hits my Dallas service day?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Reschedule the pickup. A Dallas ice storm shuts the city down for a day or two, and a box of games left on a frozen driveway helps nobody. Your games will keep. Move the service day, keep the box inside the garage, and set it out when the roads clear." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do I get a tax receipt for donating video games in Dallas?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No. 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 form is issued for a donation. If a receipt is what you need, a registered nonprofit is the right destination, and we would tell you so." } } ] } ] } ] --- Feedback ![Give My Books Network Logo](/assets/gmbn-logo-BsMIhLrP.png) - Learn More Schedule Pick-UpGive ME BooksBecome a Pick-Up Partner Sign In 1.

Video Game Donation Pickup # Video Game Donation Pickup in Dallas, TX Free video game donation pickup in Dallas Schedule Free PickupView All Dallas Services # Video Game Donation Pickup in Dallas **Quick answer:** Give My Books Network collects donated video games, consoles, and controllers free from your doorstep across Dallas. Pack them into a box or tote, set it out by 8 AM on your service day, and a Local Pick-Up Partner collects it between 8 AM and 8 PM. You do not need to be home. ## How Does Video Game Donation Pickup Work in Dallas? Give My Books Network sends a Local Pick-Up Partner to your address in Dallas to collect donated games and media at no cost. You pack the box, you set it out, and the partner takes it from there. A Local Pick-Up Partner is the locally owned family business that does the collecting, not a national carrier and not a truck from out of state. Schedule a service day, leave the box in the garage or by the covered front door, and go to work. Most donors in Far North Dallas never lay eyes on their partner, which is exactly the point.

Give My Books Network accepts video games for current systems and for systems retired decades ago, plus the hardware around them. Cartridges, discs, controllers, consoles, strategy guides, and the manual that came in the case. - **Discs and cartridges** — PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and the older systems most people assume nobody wants anymore. - **Consoles and handhelds** — including the one that has been sitting in a Lake Highlands closet since 2011. - **Controllers, cables, and power bricks** — pack them loose in the same box as the games. - **Strategy guides and manuals** — these read as books, and they find buyers. - **Everything else on the shelf** — books, DVDs, CDs, vinyl records, board games, and puzzles can ride along in the same box.

Working games and consoles are what a Local Pick-Up Partner can pass forward, so condition matters more here than it does with books. A cracked case is fine. A console with a snapped-off port or water damage is not. Missing cover art, a scuffed disc, a controller with one sticky button — all still worth setting out. Sorting happens later, offsite, done by someone who knows the difference between a fixable scratch and a dead drive. You are not expected to test anything on your kitchen floor. Schedule Free Pickup ![Do Games Have to Be in Working Order?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Where Donated Games Go After a Dallas Pickup Games collected in Dallas are sorted offsite by the Local Pick-Up Partner who picked them up, then either resold or redistributed through the Give ME Books program to after-school programs, community centers, and libraries that ask for them. The resale is not a footnote and it is not hidden. Selling the titles that have market value is what pays for the vehicle, the fuel, and the hours of sorting, and it is the reason none of this costs you anything. Games that cannot find a second life may eventually be recycled, as a last resort rather than a default.

A closed Dallas garage runs past 100°F for weeks in summer, and a spring thunderstorm can turn bare cardboard into pulp before you get home from work. 1. Use a sturdy box or a plastic tote. Discs are heavy for their size, so keep each container light enough for one person to carry alone. 2. Pack loose cables and controllers around the cases so nothing rattles around on the drive. 3. Set everything out by 8 AM in a shaded, covered spot: inside the open garage, under the carport, beside the alley gate, or against the front door out of the sun. 4. In spring, put a lid or a heavy bag over the cardboard. Dallas hail will end a box in about four minutes. 5. On an ice-storm weekend, reschedule. Nobody drives LBJ Freeway on a glaze, and your games will keep just fine.

Give My Books Network charges no pickup fee, no per-box rate, and no minimum. One shoebox of Nintendo cartridges is a real pickup. So is a whole Far North Dallas closet of consoles and cases. One honest limit: Give My Books Network and its Local Pick-Up Partners are family businesses, not 501(c)(3) nonprofits, so there is no tax-deduction receipt. The [American Library Association's Book Donation Programs guide](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) explains why so many collection points turn away media and quantity, and why a pickup network exists to take what they cannot. Pack what you have, set it out, done.
