I can't think of anything better than craigslist. We've gotten rid of bookshelves, a heavy tv, an old couch and boxes of children's clothes just by asking people to pick them up. (Which is good, as we had no easy way to get rid of some of the larger items.) Say they're free, say they're $5 or $10 per box, doesn't matter. Just be prepared for people to pick through the boxes trying to find stuff they want. But at least you're not doing the hard work then  |
True that.
The problem with Craigs list is that there is no possible tax write off. If the books can be donated some place there is a tax write off. Salvation Army probably will pick up books.
