Frequently Asked Questions

You can donate your books to us by dropping them off in one of our BookDrop drop-off bins . Or if you have a larger amount of books that you’d like to donate, you can text or call (801) 406-7398 to schedule a free pickup.

All books that you donate to us, will either be recycled, resold, or given to charities in need of books (such as Books for Africa & Deseret Industries). Every book will find a new home, whether that’s a new reader or being recycled into a new product! 

You cannot get a tax deduction for donated books.

Despite donating and recycling the vast majority of books given to us (over 90%), BookDrop is a for-profit company.

We accept all books as donations! 🙂

(but please no magazines, newspapers, tabloids, etc.)

While we accept all books as donations, we can only pay for some books that have a high resell value, such as recent edition textbooks and other specialty books. Text “SELL” to (801) 406-7398 to get a quote for these types of high-value books.

If there is no drop-off bin near you, please give us a call at (801) 406-7398 to schedule a pickup for when we are in your area. If you live far away from places we operate, a pickup might not be possible.
