DVD & Media Donation Pickup # DVD & Media Donation Pickup in Washington, DC DVD and media donation pickup in Washington, DC Schedule Free PickupView All Washington Services # DVD and Media Donation Pickup in Washington, DC **Quick answer:** Give My Books Network collects DVDs, CDs, vinyl records, VHS tapes, Blu-rays, audiobooks, and video games free from the doorstep across Washington, DC. Pack them alongside your books, set everything out by 8 AM, and a Local Pick-Up Partner collects between 8 AM and 8 PM. No fee, no minimum. ## Does Give My Books Network Collect DVDs and Media in Washington, DC? Yes. Give My Books Network collects DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, VHS tapes, vinyl records, audiobooks on disc, and video games free from doorsteps across Washington, DC, in the same boxes as your books and with no separate booking. Media is not an afterthought here. A U Street apartment can hold three hundred CDs nobody has opened since streaming arrived, and those discs still play perfectly well for someone who wants them. Schedule Free Pickup ![Does Give My Books Network Collect DVDs and Media in Washington, DC?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## What Media Is Accepted for Pickup in DC? Discs, tapes, and records in playable condition are accepted, cases or no cases. Give My Books Network takes a wide range, and the sorting happens offsite so you do not have to make judgment calls at the box. - DVDs and Blu-rays, boxed sets included. - CDs, including the ones in a spindle with no case. - Vinyl records, LPs and 45s alike. - VHS tapes, which still find buyers more often than people expect. - Audiobooks on disc and video games for any console. - Cracked discs, warped records, and moldy sleeves are the exception. Those cannot be passed forward.

A crate of records from a Petworth basement is exactly the kind of collection a Local Pick-Up Partner is glad to sort, and resale of items like these is part of what keeps the whole pickup free. Keep the sleeves if you have them. A record with its jacket has a better road ahead of it than a naked disc, though both are collected either way. Schedule Free Pickup ## How Do I Pack DVDs, CDs, and Records? Pack media in small, sturdy boxes and keep them light. Records especially: a full crate of LPs is heavier than it looks, and Give My Books Network partners do not bring boxes, so whatever you have at home is what you use. 1. Stand records upright rather than stacking them flat. 2. Keep discs in their cases when you have them, loose when you do not. 3. Mix media in with books. No sorting is needed at any stage. 4. Set boxes out by 8 AM in a dry, covered spot. 5. Cover the cardboard. Humidity here warps a sleeve faster than heat does. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Do I Pack DVDs, CDs, and Records?](/assets/service-prepare-books-WRsKfsP3.jpg) ## How Does Media Pickup Work in Washington, DC? Enter your ZIP code, choose a service day, pack the media, and set it out by 8 AM. A Local Pick-Up Partner collects between 8 AM and 8 PM, and you do not need to be home. If no partner serves your ZIP code yet, the request enters the out-of-area pickup system. A crate carried down Georgia Avenue on foot is a bad afternoon. A crate on the stoop at 8 AM is no afternoon at all. Schedule Free Pickup ![How Does Media Pickup Work in Washington, DC?](/assets/service-pickup-books-BYI_zy2v.jpg) ## Where Does Donated Media End Up? Partners sort media offsite after collection. Many items are redistributed to libraries, schools, senior centers, and nonprofits that request them through the Give ME Books program, and some items are resold by the partner to fund the free service. Resale matters more for media than for most books, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. The [American Library Association's book donation programs guide](https://libguides.ala.org/book-donations) covers the same reality for libraries handling donated media. Items that cannot be reused may eventually be recycled as a last resort. Schedule Free Pickup ## What Media Pickup Costs Nothing. No fee, no per-box charge, no minimum, and no separate booking for media rather than books. Give My Books Network funds the free doorstep service through partner resale, not through donor payments. There is no tax receipt, since these are locally owned family businesses rather than 501(c)(3) nonprofits. If a deduction is the goal, a registered nonprofit is the right destination for the collection.
