DVD & Media Donation Pickup # DVD & Media Donation Pickup in Riverside, CA DVD and media donation pickup in Riverside Schedule Free PickupView All Riverside Services # DVD and Media Donation Pickup in Riverside **Quick answer:** Give My Books Network collects DVDs, CDs, vinyl records, VHS tapes, and audiobooks free from Riverside doorsteps, alongside books or on their own. Pack the media into boxes, set them in the shade by 8 AM, and a Local Pick-Up Partner collects between 8 AM and 8 PM. ## What Media Does Give My Books Network Collect in Riverside? Give My Books Network collects nearly all physical media from Riverside homes at no cost — DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, VHS tapes, vinyl records, audiobooks on disc, and video games. A Local Pick-Up Partner takes the packed boxes between 8 AM and 8 PM. A Local Pick-Up Partner is the locally owned family business that collects in your part of town. Downtown, Magnolia Center, up toward the base of Mount Rubidoux — whoever turns up lives nearby and knows the streets. - DVDs and Blu-rays, box sets included - CDs, including jewel cases with cracks - Vinyl records — LPs, 45s, whole crates of them - VHS tapes, still watchable and still wanted by somebody - Audiobooks on disc and on cassette - Video games and their cases Schedule Free Pickup ![What Media Does Give My Books Network Collect in Riverside?](/assets/service-books-collection-DJKSmgFT.jpg) ## Can Media Ride Along With a Book Pickup in Riverside? Yes, and it should. DVDs, CDs, and records can go in the same boxes as the books, with nothing separated and nothing labeled, because a Local Pick-Up Partner sorts everything offsite after collection. People overthink this constantly. 'Should the vinyl go in its own crate?' It does not need to. 'Do the DVDs need to be in alphabetical order?' They really do not. Pack what you have, set it out, done. Schedule Free Pickup ![Can Media Ride Along With a Book Pickup in Riverside?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Is Vinyl Really Still Wanted? Yes, more than almost anything else in the box. Vinyl records have a durable second-hand life, and a crate that has been sitting in a Riverside closet since the Carter administration is very often worth passing forward. Sleeve wear does not disqualify a record. Warping and deep scratches do reduce what a record can be used for, but let the sorting decide that. Riverside's dry air is unusually kind to cardboard sleeves — the same dry heat that punishes a box left in the sun is what has quietly preserved those covers for forty years. Schedule Free Pickup ## What About Scratched Discs and Old VHS Tapes? Send them anyway. A light scratch on a DVD often plays fine, VHS tapes still have an audience, and the sorting after collection is where those calls get made — not on your living room floor at nine at night. What genuinely cannot be used is a disc that is cracked through, a tape with the ribbon pulled out, or a case of mold. Everything else is worth the box space. Nine times out of ten the thing you nearly left behind is the thing somebody wanted. Schedule Free Pickup ![What About Scratched Discs and Old VHS Tapes?](/assets/service-books-collection-DJKSmgFT.jpg) ## How Should Media Be Packed for a Riverside Summer? Pack media into small, sturdy boxes and keep them out of direct sun. Discs and tapes take heat worse than books do, and a case left on hot concrete all afternoon will warp. 1. Use small boxes. A box of CDs gets heavy faster than a box of paperbacks. 2. Keep vinyl upright rather than stacked flat, if it is easy to do. 3. Tape the flaps shut so nothing slides out on the way to the vehicle. 4. Stage everything in the shade — a covered porch, or the garage with the door cracked. 5. Set out by 8 AM on your service day. You do not need to be home. Your Local Pick-Up Partner does not bring boxes. The donor packs, and that is what keeps the service free.

Your Local Pick-Up Partner sorts everything offsite. Many items are redistributed through the Give ME Books program to libraries, senior centers, shelters, and community organizations that requested media. Some items are resold by the partner. Resale of media is a real part of what funds the free collection — records and box sets in particular. Not every disc finds a home; items that cannot be reused may eventually be recycled, as a last resort. The [American Library Association's book donation guidance](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) covers why institutions can rarely absorb media in volume, which is a large part of why this service exists. Schedule Free Pickup ## What Does Media Pickup Cost in Riverside? Media donation pickup through Give My Books Network costs nothing in Riverside. No fee, no per-box charge, no minimum — one shoebox of CDs is a real pickup and so is a wall of records. There is no tax receipt. Local Pick-Up Partners are family businesses rather than 501(c)(3) nonprofits, so no deduction form gets issued. If you need one, a registered nonprofit is the right destination and we would say so.
