NMLP Question Reference · Albuquerque

Where can I donate books at end of semester as a UNM student?

UNM end-of-semester move-out is a high-volume window for NMLP. Students cleaning out dorms, apartments, and Greek houses often have stacks of books, and all of them are welcome: this semester's editions still on the syllabus, nursing, engineering, business, and law texts, plus older editions, electives, foreign-language texts, supplementary readings, and reference books.

NMLP picks up at:

The fastest way to clear end-of-semester books:

  1. Box the whole stack together, current editions included. Skip the separate stop at a buyback counter or a trade-in site; those accept a short list of titles, and NMLP takes every one.
  2. A few boxes: the 24/7 drop box at 5445 Edith Blvd NE, covered and waterproof, outside the gate near the road. If it is full, text 505-250-3804 or come by 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., when someone is at the warehouse to help unload.
  3. A room, apartment, or Greek house full: free pickup for all of it — electives, supplementary readings, foreign-language texts, art history textbooks, lab manuals, anything water-damaged or marked up

Free pickup, scheduled by route. Call or text 505-250-3804. See UNM Textbook Donation Pickup.
