How pickups work in Palm Harbor
We are in Palm Harbor every Monday
Palm Harbor is on the Monday Pinellas 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 Monday and you are usually on that week’s run.
Palm Harbor is where this whole business started. Our founder built the eBay store for East Lake Community Library as a volunteer, other Friends of the Library groups heard about it, and MaxX Multi Media grew out of that. We have been driving these streets longer than any others.
Neighborhoods and areas we collect from
Ozona, Crystal Beach, Highland Lakes, East Lake, Lansbrook, Innisbrook, Tarpon Springs, Oldsmar, Westlake Village, and everywhere else inside Pinellas County.
ZIP codes covered: 34683, 34684, 34685, 34688, 34689
Give your books a second life
Books you have finished with in Palm Harbor 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 the Friends of South Holiday Library and the Friends of the Clearwater Library System. So a shelf you have cleared in Palm Harbor 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.

Palm Harbor questions
Are you connected to East Lake Community Library?
Our founder built their eBay store as a volunteer, and that work is how the company started. We are a private business, not part of the library, and we do not want anyone to confuse the two.
Do you work with Friends of the Library groups?
Yes, more than twenty Florida library and Friends groups since 2024. If you are with a group, see our schools and libraries page, because there is a revenue sharing option as well as a straight cleanout.
Do you cover Tarpon Springs and Oldsmar?
Yes, both, along with Dunedin and Safety Harbor.
