Board Game and Puzzle Donation Pickup # Board Game and Puzzle Donation Pickup in St Louis, MO Board game and puzzle donation pickup in St. Louis Schedule Free PickupView All St Louis Services # Board Game and Puzzle Donation Pickup in St. Louis **Quick answer:** Give My Books Network collects board games and puzzles free from doorsteps across St. Louis, right alongside books and media. Pack the boxes, set them out by 8 AM on your service day, and a Local Pick-Up Partner collects them between 8 AM and 8 PM. No cost, and no need to be home. ## Can You Donate Board Games and Puzzles in St. Louis? Yes. Give My Books Network collects board games, card games, and jigsaw puzzles free from your doorstep, in the same pickup as your books. A Local Pick-Up Partner is the locally owned family business that comes to collect on your service day. The closet fills up quietly. An ice-storm weekend gets a puzzle out, an August afternoon too hot to be outside gets another, and eventually the hall closet in a Lindenwood Park bungalow will not shut. Schedule Free Pickup ## Do Puzzles Need All Their Pieces? Yes, or close to it. A 1,000-piece puzzle missing three pieces ends a rainy afternoon badly, and the person who opens that box deserves better. Count the pieces if you can, and if that is not realistic, use the honest test: has this puzzle been completed since the last time it went back in the box? If yes, send it. If nobody has finished it in ten years and pieces have gone under the radiator, leave it out. Schedule Free Pickup ## How Does Game and Puzzle Pickup Work in St. Louis? Pack the games yourself, set them out by 8 AM, and a Local Pick-Up Partner collects between 8 AM and 8 PM. The partner does not bring boxes, so use whatever you have. 1. Enter your ZIP code and choose a service day. 2. Tape or rubber-band each game box shut so the pieces stay put. 3. Pack games and puzzles into a box or tote. Books and DVDs can ride along. 4. Set it on the covered front porch by 8 AM, with a lid on if rain is coming. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Does Game and Puzzle Pickup Work in St. Louis?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## What Games and Puzzles Cannot Be Accepted? Games missing their board, their dice, or half their cards cannot be accepted, and neither can puzzles missing a meaningful number of pieces. A game that cannot be played has no second life waiting for it. - Complete board games, including well-worn family classics - Card games with the full deck - Jigsaw puzzles that are complete, or honestly close - Video games with the disc or cartridge intact - Anything mildewed from a damp basement stays behind Schedule Free Pickup ![What Games and Puzzles Cannot Be Accepted?](/assets/service-books-collection-DJKSmgFT.jpg) ## Who Plays Them Next in St. Louis? Many games and puzzles are redistributed through the Give ME Books program to schools, after-school programs, senior centers, shelters, and community centers that requested them. Some are resold by the partner, which is what makes the pickup free. Senior centers ask for puzzles constantly, and after-school rooms out toward the Webster Groves line burn through board games. The [American Library Association's book donation guidance](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) makes the same point about condition that applies to games: a complete one gets used, and an incomplete one becomes somebody else's problem. Schedule Free Pickup ## Packing a Stack of Game Boxes Tape each game box shut before it goes in the carton. Game boxes are famous for opening on the way down the porch steps, and a hundred Scrabble tiles in the boxwood is a bad end to a good idea. Give My Books Network takes games in any quantity, with no fee and no minimum. One puzzle counts. So does the whole closet. Pack what you have, set it out, schedule the pickup, done.
