How pickups work in Brandon
We are in Brandon every Wednesday
Brandon is on the Wednesday Hillsborough route. We run fixed weekly routes so several pickups in one area go on the same trip, which is a large part of how we keep pickup free. Send your request before Wednesday and you are usually on that week’s run.
Brandon and the eastern Hillsborough suburbs are among the easiest pickups we do. Suburban houses, real driveways, two car garages and plenty of room to work. The only catch is distance, so these are grouped into our Hillsborough day.
Neighborhoods and areas we collect from
Bloomingdale, Valrico, Riverview, FishHawk Ranch, Lithia, Seffner, Dover, and everywhere else inside Hillsborough County.
ZIP codes covered: 33510, 33511, 33594, 33596, 33569, 33578, 33579
Give your books a second life
Books you have finished with in Brandon do not get thrown in a skip. Every box is opened and sorted by hand by people who sell books for a living, which is how anything genuinely worth something gets spotted rather than binned. A great deal of the rest lands on the tables at our monthly community book sale, priced at a dollar so local people actually take it home.
That sale raises money for South Holiday Library and the Clearwater Library System. So a shelf you have cleared in Brandon turns into cheap books for a neighbor and funding for a local library. That is the whole idea: contribute to community book sales that support libraries, rather than watching a lifetime of reading go out with the recycling.

Brandon questions
Do you serve Riverview, Valrico and FishHawk?
Yes, plus Lithia, Seffner and Dover. All of Hillsborough County is covered.
Everything is in the garage. Do I need to bring it out?
No. Leave the garage accessible and we will take it from where it sits. That is what we are there for.

Wednesdays. Brandon and the rest of Hillsborough are on the Wednesday route. Our fourth Saturday is taken up by the MaxX Book Bonanza sale, so Saturdays are not generally available.
