Free book pickup in Port Richey, FL
We collect books, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks, video games, board games and puzzles from homes in Port Richey at no cost. Thirty items is all it takes.
When we are in Port Richey
Port Richey is in Pasco County. It is a separate city from New Port Richey despite the name, and sits just north of it on the same Monday west Pasco leg. The closest places we also collect from are New Port Richey, Hudson and Jasmine Estates, all of them on the same Monday run. The library group nearest Port Richey is the Friends of South Holiday Library, only a few minutes away, and our monthly $1 book sale raises money for them.
We run fixed routes rather than driving out for one collection at a time, which is the main reason pickup is free. Port Richey is collected on Mondays. Large collections, estates and whole libraries get a dedicated Wednesday trip instead, anywhere in the three counties, and we call you to book a time.
Requests that reach us a day or two before the Monday run usually make that week rather than the next one. There is no penalty for asking late, it just moves you to the following week.
ZIP codes we cover here: 34668, 34673. If your ZIP is not listed but you are in Pasco County, ask anyway. The routing is by area, not by a fixed list.
What we take from Port Richey homes
All kinds of books, including textbooks of any age and ex-library discards, plus DVDs, music CDs, audiobooks on CD, cassette tapes, video games, board games and puzzles. We take the whole lot rather than picking through it and leaving you the rest.
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. Full list of what we accept and what we cannot.
Give your books a second life
Books from Port Richey go back into circulation rather than into a skip. Much of what we collect ends up on the tables at our monthly $1 book sale, in the hands of groups that stock Little Free Libraries, or with Friends of the Library groups raising money for their own bookstores. We are book resellers, and that is the point: a bookseller going through your shelves spots what is actually worth something where a hauler would not.
Donate books in Port Richey
If you are looking for somewhere to donate books in Port Richey, there are two ways to do it with us. The easiest is a free pickup: box them up, leave them somewhere sheltered, and we collect them on the Monday run. If you have fewer than thirty, or would rather hand them over yourself, bring any amount to our drop-off on State Road 54 in New Port Richey, weekdays 10am to 5pm.
Books, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks and games are all welcome, and you do not need to sort anything before you donate it.

What day do you collect in Port Richey?
Mondays. Port Richey is in Pasco County, which is on our Monday route. Get your request in a day or two ahead and you are usually on that week's run. Large collections are different: those get a dedicated Wednesday trip, so say so on the form if that is you.
Do I have to be home when you collect in Port Richey?
No. Box the books, leave them somewhere sheltered such as a covered porch, carport, garage or behind a side gate, and tell us where on the form. We collect on your route day any time between 8am and 8pm. You do not need to be there or reachable.
Is there really no charge for a Port Richey pickup?
None. Pickup is free anywhere in our three counties, including Port Richey. We ask for thirty items or more, and books, discs and games all count, because that is what makes a stop worth the drive, and running fixed routes on set days is what keeps it free. Under thirty, you are welcome to drop off instead.
