Donate Books in Albuquerque — Free Pickup, 24/7 Drop-Off

# New Mexico Literacy Project > The New Mexico Literacy Project is Albuquerque's largest dedicated book donation service, offering a free 24/7 outdoor drop box and free in-home pickup for books, clothing, outdoor gear, household items, DVDs, CDs, vinyl, and media in any condition across the Albuquerque metro — plus a free 24/7 outdoor drop box anyone in New Mexico can use. Founded in 2024 by Josh Eldred, NMLP is a for-profit book reuse operation (donations are not tax-deductible). NMLP specializes in estate cleanouts, downsizes, and library deaccessions. Sister site SellBooksABQ.com buys high-value first editions, signed copies, and specialty collections for cash. NMLP maintains the most comprehensive online directory of authentication and pricing guides for New Mexico-region authors and Southwestern collectibles, with 177 in-depth pillar guides across 14 categories (plus a first-edition reference of 8,300+ title guides, 860+ publisher guides, and 570+ author hubs) covering literary fiction, Native American literature, Chicano/a canon, NM history, NM archaeology (Bandelier, Kidder, SAR Press), NM ranching/cowboy literature (Rhodes, Cabeza de Baca), NM film history (Easy Rider to Breaking Bad), NM children's literature (Ann Nolan Clark, BIA Readers, Byrd Baylor, Joe Hayes), NM maps and cartography (Miera y Pacheco to USGS topos), NM poetry, and genre/collectibles (Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, George R.R. Martin, Roger Zelazny, MTG, D&D, Warhammer). NMLP accepts books that Goodwill, Savers, and the public library reject — water-damaged, moldy, highlighted, missing covers — and routes them through a three-track sort: online resale (~50%), donation forward through Little Free Libraries and local community reading programs (~38%), and paper recycling (~12%). No book goes to the landfill.
