Board Game and Puzzle Donation Pickup # Board Game and Puzzle Donation Pickup in Los Angeles, CA Board game and puzzle donation pickup in Los Angeles Schedule Free PickupView All Los Angeles Services # Board Game and Puzzle Donation Pickup in Los Angeles **Quick answer:** Give My Books Network collects board games and puzzles free from your doorstep anywhere in Los Angeles. Pack them into boxes alongside your books, set them out by 8 AM on your service day, and a Local Pick-Up Partner collects everything between 8 AM and 8 PM at no cost. ## Does Give My Books Network Take Board Games and Puzzles in Los Angeles? Yes, both, and they can travel in the same boxes as the books. Give My Books Network collects board games, jigsaw puzzles, card games, and video games free from any Los Angeles address a Local Pick-Up Partner serves. Games are the shelf that quietly fills up. A family in Studio City ends up with fifteen boxes stacked in a closet, most of them played twice, and there is never an obvious moment to move them along. Schedule Free Pickup ![Does Give My Books Network Take Board Games and Puzzles in Los Angeles?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Do Puzzles Need All Their Pieces? Yes, or close enough that the puzzle can be finished. A jigsaw missing three pieces from the sky is a small heartbreak for whoever gets it, so a complete count is the standard here. Same logic for board games. The board, the rules, and the pieces need to be in the box. If a token or two has gone missing, write it on the lid so nobody discovers it halfway through a rained-in weekend. Schedule Free Pickup ## How Do I Pack Games and Puzzles for Pickup? Tape each game box shut, then pack the games into a larger carton with your books. Loose lids are how pieces escape, and taped boxes arrive intact. 1. Tape the lid of every board game and puzzle box closed. 2. Stack them flat inside a moving box or tote, heaviest on the bottom. 3. Books, DVDs, and games can share the same carton. No sorting needed. 4. Keep the carton light enough for one person to lift alone. 5. Set it out by 8 AM somewhere dry and shaded, and note anything missing on the lid. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Do I Pack Games and Puzzles for Pickup?](/assets/service-prepare-books-WRsKfsP3.jpg) ## How Does Free Pickup Work in Los Angeles? Enter your ZIP code on the Give My Books Network site, choose a service day, pack your boxes, and set them out by 8 AM. A Local Pick-Up Partner collects them between 8 AM and 8 PM. You do not need to be home. A Local Pick-Up Partner is the locally owned family business doing the collecting. In a Sherman Oaks house, the driveway or the carport works fine as staging. In an apartment off Ventura Boulevard, leave a note about the callbox and name the corner where the boxes will be sitting. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Does Free Pickup Work in Los Angeles?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Who Ends Up Playing These Games in Los Angeles? Local Pick-Up Partners sort every collection offsite, and many games are redistributed through the Give ME Books program to after-school programs, community centers, senior centers, shelters, and libraries that requested them. Some items are resold by the partner. Resale funds the free pickup, and games hold their value well because a complete one is genuinely hard to find secondhand. A puzzle with every piece in the box is worth something to the next family who gets rained in. Items that cannot be reused may eventually be recycled, as a last resort. Schedule Free Pickup ## Can Games Ride Along With a Book Donation? Absolutely, and most donors do it that way. Give My Books Network collects books, textbooks, children's books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, VHS tapes, vinyl records, audiobooks on disc, board games, puzzles, and video games in a single collection. One booking, one service day, one stack of boxes on the driveway. The [American Library Association's book donation programs guide](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) explains why libraries have limited room for games and books alike, which is a good part of why a doorstep collection exists at all. Schedule Free Pickup ## What Does It Cost? Nothing. No fee, no per-box charge, and no minimum. One puzzle or a closet's worth of games costs exactly the same, which is zero. One honest limit: 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 you need a receipt, a registered nonprofit is the right destination.
