No maximum. NMLP's operational ceiling is set by warehouse capacity (managed by the 3-track sort and ongoing routing to readers, online resale, and the regional pulper) rather than by any per-donor cap.
Practical scaling:
- Up to ~500 books — typical single pickup, scheduled in a 2-4 hour block, same-week.
- 500-2,000 books — one or two pickup sessions, scheduled within 1-2 weeks.
- 2,000-5,000 books — multi-day pickup, scheduled within 2-3 weeks (sometimes faster with notice). NMLP works around your closing date or move-out window.
- 5,000-10,000+ books — multi-day pickup spanning a week or more; NMLP coordinates the schedule to fit your timeline. May rent a larger truck for a single trip if the household is being cleared on a short window.
- 10,000+ books — call to discuss. NMLP has handled estate-library cleanouts above 8,000 volumes; bigger is doable with planning.
For commercial-scale book deaccessions (retired bookstore inventory, deceased dealer estates, college library overstock): NMLP can coordinate with you and a commercial pulper / reseller to handle the full disposition without anything going to landfill.
Call or text 505-250-3804 for any volume.
