There is no pickup fee, no per-box charge, and no minimum anywhere in Los Angeles. Local Pick-Up Partners fund the free service by reselling a portion of what they collect, which is why donating a box of games costs you nothing at all." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What if some of my games are missing their cases?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Loose discs and cartridges are fine. Put them in a bag or a small box so they do not slide around, and send them with the rest. A missing case does not stop a game from finding a player. A cracked disc does, so leave those out." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I mix video games with books in the same box?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes, and it is encouraged.

Nobody needs you to." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do I need to be home for a video game pickup in Los Angeles?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No. Set your packed boxes out by 8 AM on your service day in a shaded, dry spot, and your Local Pick-Up Partner collects them sometime between 8 AM and 8 PM.

A single bag is a real pickup, though most people combine games with books and media so the trip is worth a Local Pick-Up Partner's while.

Video Game Donation Pickup # Video Game Donation Pickup in Los Angeles, CA Free video game donation pickup in Los Angeles Schedule Free PickupView All Los Angeles Services # Video Game Donation Pickup in Los Angeles **Quick answer:** Give My Books Network offers free video game donation pickup in Los Angeles. Pack your games, discs, and cartridges into a box or sturdy bag along with any books or media you are passing forward, 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 Los Angeles? Give My Books Network sends a Local Pick-Up Partner to your door in Los Angeles to collect donated video games and media at no cost. A Local Pick-Up Partner is the locally owned family business that does the collecting. You pack. That part matters, because the partner does not bring boxes, and they arrive to collect what is already packed and waiting. Enter your ZIP code, pick a service day, set the box out by 8 AM. If no partner covers your block yet, the request enters the out-of-area pickup system, where a nearby partner may claim it. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Does Video Game Donation Pickup Work in Los Angeles?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Which Video Games and Media Can Be Donated? Give My Books Network accepts video games on disc and cartridge, plus strategy guides, board games, puzzles, and the full range of physical media. Old formats are welcome. A game does not need to be current to have a player waiting for it. - **Video games** — discs and cartridges, current generation and several generations back. - **Game-adjacent print** — strategy guides, manuals, art books, gaming magazines in decent shape. - **Other media** — CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, VHS tapes, vinyl records, audiobooks on disc. - **Everything paper** — hardcovers, paperbacks, children's books, textbooks, encyclopedias. - **Tabletop** — board games and puzzles, ideally with the pieces still inside. What does not work: cracked discs, empty cases, and anything mold-damaged. A disc that skips has no second life waiting for it, and no amount of sorting fixes that. Schedule Free Pickup ## Why Los Angeles Households End Up With Games Nobody Plays Consoles change faster than the shelf does, so Los Angeles households collect a layer of games for every system they have ever owned. Nobody plans it. It just accumulates. Then comes a rained-in weekend, the kind this city gets three or four times a winter when the whole season seems to arrive at once, and somebody finally opens the closet in the hall. A Van Nuys family finds two generations of cartridges behind the winter coats. Half of it still works fine. What nobody wants to do is drive it down Victory Boulevard and hunt for parking to hand over one bag. Schedule Free Pickup ![Why Los Angeles Households End Up With Games Nobody Plays](/assets/service-community-books-Blt8OCE1.jpg) ## Where Do Donated Video Games Actually Go? Local Pick-Up Partners sort every donation offsite, then redistribute many items to schools, libraries, nonprofits, and after-school programs that request them through the Give ME Books program, while reselling a portion to fund the free pickup. The resale is not a secret and it is not a footnote. It pays for the vehicle, the fuel, and the hours a partner spends sorting a North Hollywood garage into categories. That is why the pickup costs you nothing. Items that cannot find a second life may eventually be recycled as a last resort. Schedule Free Pickup ## What Does Video Game Donation Pickup Cost in Los Angeles? Nothing — Give My Books Network charges no pickup fee, no per-box charge, and no minimum in Los Angeles. One shoebox of cartridges is a real pickup. So is a closet's worth. One honest limit: Give My Books Network and its Local Pick-Up Partners are family businesses rather than 501(c)(3) nonprofits, so there is no tax-deduction receipt. If a receipt is what you need, a registered nonprofit is the right destination, and we would say so plainly. The [American Library Association's guide to book donation programs](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) is a useful map of what the wider donation landscape actually looks like. Schedule Free Pickup ![What Does Video Game Donation Pickup Cost in Los Angeles?](/assets/service-books-collection-DJKSmgFT.jpg) ## Games Travel Best in the Same Box as the Books Send the games with everything else. Sorting by format is not required, so cartridges, paperbacks, DVDs, and a jigsaw puzzle can all ride together in one container. Keep each box light enough for one person to carry alone. Set it out in a shaded, dry spot by 8 AM — a porch, a side gate, a covered carport. Schedule, set out, done.
