You set the books outside, your Local Pick-Up Partner collects them, and you go on with your day. There is no driving, no drop-off, no waiting in line. Schedule Free PickupView All Scottsdale Services ## How Doorstep Pickup Works in Scottsdale Doorstep pickup is exactly what it sounds like. You set the books outside, your Local Pick-Up Partner collects them, and you go on with your day. There is no driving, no drop-off, no waiting in line. Here is how it lines up. Schedule the pickup online. Pack your books and media into boxes or bags that are not too heavy. On the day of, place everything in a safe, dry spot starting at 8 AM. The pickup window runs from 8 AM to 8 PM, so your partner has the full day to swing by. You do not need to be home, you do not need to call, and you do not need to text. Just leave the items somewhere accessible and let the partner handle the rest. People in McCormick Ranch and Old Town tell us this is the part they appreciate most. The whole thing fits around their schedule, not the other way around. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Doorstep Pickup Works in Scottsdale](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Where to Leave Your Books on Pickup Day A front porch is the most common spot. A covered carport works just as well. A garage with the side door propped open is another good option, especially in the warmer months when keeping things out of direct desert sun matters. Up in DC Ranch and Grayhawk, where homes often have deeper covered entries, folks tuck the boxes near the front door under the shade. Down in South Scottsdale and Old Town, where porches and stoops are a little smaller, people often use a side gate area or a covered patio. Either way, the spot needs to be safe, dry, and reachable for your Local Pick-Up Partner. One thing about Scottsdale specifically. Late summer brings monsoon storms that show up fast. If a storm is in the forecast, a covered spot is even more important. A box of paperbacks left in the open during a quick July downpour will not come out the other side. Most people overthink the spot. Anywhere accessible and out of the elements is fine. Schedule Free Pickup ![Where to Leave Your Books on Pickup Day](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## What You Can Leave Out for Doorstep Pickup Most books and media qualify. Hardcovers and paperbacks. Children's books and young adult. Cookbooks, coffee table books, religious books, history, romance, science fiction, encyclopedias. We also collect DVDs, CDs, audiobooks on disc, board games, puzzles, and video games. Pack everything together. There is no need to separate kids' books from adult books, no need to pull out the textbooks. You do not need to sort anything before your pickup. We mean that. Local Pick-Up Partners handle all the sorting after collection. Hardcovers and paperbacks can share a box. CDs can ride along with the novels. The system is built around making this as low-effort as possible for the donor. What we need to skip is anything moldy, water-damaged, or falling apart. If a box has been sitting in a damp Scottsdale garage during a wetter monsoon and everything inside smells off, those items probably cannot find a second life. Schedule Free Pickup ![What You Can Leave Out for Doorstep Pickup](/assets/service-books-collection-DJKSmgFT.jpg) ## What to Expect After Pickup Once your Local Pick-Up Partner collects the boxes, they take everything back to sort. Many items are redistributed to readers, schools, libraries, nonprofits, and organizations that request books through the Give ME Books program. Some may be resold by the partner to help sustain the free pickup service and support their family business. Items that cannot be reused may eventually be recycled, but only as a last resort. The simplest way to think about it: your books move forward, not into a landfill. Give My Books Network is a nationwide community book-sharing network, and the Scottsdale pickups are handled by independent local partners who live and work in the same neighborhoods you do. They are not a faceless corporate operation. They are family-operated, locally owned businesses, and the system is designed to keep your books moving through real hands toward real readers.
