Large Book Collection Pickup in New Port Richey, FL
A room of shelves, a garage, a whole library. We collect large collections across New Port Richey free of charge, on a trip of their own.
How big is big?
Our ordinary pickup minimum is thirty items. A large collection is the other end of that scale: a room of shelves, a converted garage, a teacher's career worth of classroom books, a collector downsizing. Once it is past a few hundred books it stops being a stop on a round and becomes its own trip.
We run these throughout New Port Richey and across Pasco County, including River Ridge, Bear Creek, Sea Pines and Port Richey.
Large collections get their own day
Ordinary New Port Richey pickups ride on our Monday route. A big job should not have to. We keep Wednesdays clear for large collections, anywhere in Pasco, Pinellas or Hillsborough, so a big collection gets the right vehicle and enough hands rather than being fitted around ten other stops. Tell us the scale on the form and we will call to arrange the time.
You do not need to sort it first, and we would rather you did not. Sorting is the slowest part of the job for you and the fastest part for us. Box what you reasonably can, leave the rest on the shelves, and we will work through it.
New Port Richey is close enough to our office that we can often be flexible about the day, and close enough that dropping off yourself is a real alternative if you would rather not wait for the round.
Will you take all of it?
We take all of it, within what we can accept. The reason people call us instead of a hauler is that we are booksellers, so we can tell what is worth something. The reason they call us instead of a used bookstore is that we do not leave the leftovers behind. Both matter on a collection this size.
We cannot take VHS tapes, mass-market paperbacks, encyclopedia sets, Reader's Digest Condensed volumes, magazines and newspapers, or anything with mould, water or insect damage. The full list is worth a look before a big job so there are no surprises on the day.
Whatever we can sell goes on the tables at our monthly $1 book sale, and that sale raises money for the Friends of South Holiday Library, just down the road. That is the short version of where a New Port Richey collection ends up.
We work out of New Port Richey, so New Port Richey is minutes from our office. That also makes dropping off yourself a realistic option if you would rather not wait for a route day, and there is no minimum and no appointment for a drop-off.
We collect from the same round in:

Book a free New Port Richey pickup
How many books is too many for one pickup in New Port Richey?
We have not found the ceiling yet. A thousand books is a normal Wednesday for us. If it is genuinely a whole library, tell us on the form and we will plan the vehicle and the crew around it rather than guessing.
Do you bring boxes?
No, and it is better to know that in advance on a job this size. We carry no spare boxes. Grocery stores will usually give away banana boxes, which are the right size and strong enough, and liquor stores are the other reliable source. We bring the people and do all the carrying.
Is a large New Port Richey collection still free?
Yes. There is no charge for pickup at any size, and no charge for the Wednesday trip.
Can you come on a monday instead?
If it fits on the route, yes. The Wednesday slot exists because a big collection usually does not fit, and squeezing it into a round day means a rushed job. Ask on the form and we will tell you honestly which is better.
