Got books collecting dust on your shelf?

Books are more than just pages bound together—they are our best friends, our teachers, and our greatest companions. They comfort us in solitude, broaden our horizons, and entertain and educate us at the same time. From thrilling fiction to insightful non-fiction, books open doors to endless possibilities. But let’s be honest—how often do we buy books with the best intentions, only to let them gather dust on our shelves? Whether it’s that bestseller you never got around to reading or the stack of novels you swore you’d finish, we all end up collecting more than we actually read.

Turn the Page – Why Do Your Books Matter?

Books have a way of staying with us—they inspire, educate, and transport us to new worlds. But let’s be real—many of us have shelves filled with books we’ve read once (or never got around to reading at all). Instead of letting them gather dust, why not pass them on?

By donating your books, you’re not just clearing space—you’re sharing knowledge, stories, and adventures with someone new. Your books can find a new home in schools, libraries, and reading programs, sparking curiosity and imagination in others. Most importantly, they don’t go to waste—they continue their journey, creating new stories in the hands of someone eager to read them.

Yes, you can donate books along with clothes, toys, and shoes. We offer a convenient process for donating multiple items at once.

Your donations will be delivered to one of the organizations in London, and you will be notified via email with the details. Here’s our process: When you raise a request on our website, our social organization mapping algorithm picks an organization for your donations based on various parameters – location, items to be donated, their quantity, etc. Then the donations are picked up by our logistics partner and delivered directly to the matched social organization/charity the same day. You are notified of the details of the organization where your donations went via automated email.

We’re excited to accept donations of all sizes, from just a few pens to an entire box of stationery goodies – every bit helps! You can choose from our Light Pickup for smaller donations or opt for the Flexi Pickup, which includes a range of vehicle options like an Car, Van, or Minivan.

Pack your items in a box/bag to keep them together and make them easy to carry. Do not use very big boxes as that would require more helpers to assist with the loading.

Absolutely! Opt for the ‘drop off’ option when booking. We’ll send you a list of local charities to coordinate with for your drop-off.

Yes, there’s a nominal convenience fee charged to facilitate the pickup from your home, which you’ll see at the final step of your booking process when you’re choosing what items to donate. The charges are displayed at step 3 while making a booking.

For a two-wheeler pickup (small pickups – upto 10KGs in 1 bag), the convenience fee generally starts from £24.99. The exact convenience fee is displayed while making a booking, based on the distance from the matching charity and the volume of the donations (vehicle, logistics, etc.).

Our pickups are scheduled in multiple slots throughout the week. Our 2-hour pickup slots start from 11AM to 3PM.
