Check the types and editions
The program accepts good, clean books but has publication-year rules for categories such as popular fiction, travel and computer books. It excludes ex-library books, damaged books and heavily marked copies.

Match the load to the location
Bring a small donation to a branch or a larger eligible load to Rose City Reads. Its posted hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; recheck before travelling. Contact Friends first if your collection exceeds the daily limit.

When Dropcurb helps
If your Portland, Oregon book clear-out leaves accepted boxes to remove, Dropcurb handles loading and transport once they are outside and accessible. Pack books in manageable boxes and count each filled box, not each book. Check heavy or oversized boxes with us first. Choose the charity directly when your goal is donation; standard pickup does not promise a donation destination.
