Fresno and Clovis book donation guide

Where to Donate DVDs, CDs, and Old Media in Fresno and Clovis

Movies, music, and audiobooks pile up just like books, and most of it still has an audience. Here is how to pass it on for free.

Physical media has a way of outlasting the devices that played it. Shelves fill with DVDs, CDs, tapes, and records long after the player is gone, and tossing it all feels wasteful because it is.

Plenty of people still collect and enjoy physical media, so a free pickup keeps your old discs and records in use instead of in a landfill, and it clears real space at home.

When your shelves are ready, you can book a media and DVD pickup and clear the discs and records along with your books.

Passing playable media on rather than discarding it is the reuse how reusing durable items keeps them out of landfills the EPA recommends ahead of recycling.

Formats we accept

DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs, VHS tapes, vinyl records, and audiobooks are all welcome, in any mix of genres and eras — vinyl in particular has a devoted following, and audiobooks on CD are a lifeline for plenty of listeners. Box sets, complete series, and full albums are especially easy to pass on.

What we cannot rehome

Discs that are cracked or badly scratched and tapes that no longer play are the main exceptions, since a new owner could not enjoy them. Keep discs with their cases where you can — empty cases on their own are hard to use. Everything that still plays is worth donating, even with cosmetic wear.

Bundling media with a book pickup

Media rides along with books at no extra cost, so a single visit can clear the whole shelf. Box it with the rest of your donation — no need to separate formats. Records and large disc collections are heavier than they look, so mention a big collection when you book, and flag anything fragile or possibly collectible so we can pack it carefully or set it aside for you.

Where your media goes next

Working media is sorted alongside books and passed forward to listeners, viewers, and community partners across Fresno and Clovis, with a resellable share sold to keep pickups free. Because the service is local, a box of CDs often turns up at a community sale or on a partner shelf a few miles away.
