Pickup Day Guidelines

    Follow these simple guidelines to ensure a smooth and successful book donation pickup

    1

    Fill Containers Completely

    Please fill each box or bag completely rather than giving us multiple partially full containers - this helps us conserve space in our vehicle.

    2

    50lb Max Per Container

    Ensure all boxes or bags are light enough for one person to carry alone. 50lb MAX. We are strong, but we need our backs! 😊

    3

    Use Boxes or Bags

    All items should be in a box, bag, or container that we can pick up and take with us. Please do not leave loose books - we will not take them if not in a container. We do not bring replacement boxes.

    4

    Leave Items Out by 8 AM

    Please have your boxes or bags outside and accessible by 8 AM on your scheduled pick-up day. This ensures our Partners can complete their route efficiently.

    5

    Flexible Pick-up Window

    Our pick-up window is 8 AM to 8 PM. We cannot guarantee a specific time but will be there sometime that day.

    6

    No Tax Deduction Slips

    Give My Books Network and its Pick-Up Partners are family businesses, not 501(c)(3) nonprofits. We cannot provide tax deduction forms. If you need one, please take your books to a registered nonprofit.

    7

    Protect from Weather

    We come rain or shine - please check the weather and cover books or move them to a safe, dry accessible location. We will not pick up rain-soaked books.

    8

    Review Your Partner

    Important

    We require you to review your Pick-Up Partner after your pickup. This 3-click questionnaire keeps Partners accountable and helps the next person know who to trust. When you use our service, you agree to leave a review.

    📚Final Note: We thank you so much for giving your books and other items!

    Your donations help give books a second life and support communities in need.
