Belen and the surrounding Valencia County communities (Bosque Farms, Peralta, Los Lunas, Adelino, Jarales) are inside NMLP's near-metro service area for free in-home book pickup. No mileage fee, no minimum quantity, scheduling by route.
The drive south on I-25 is straightforward and NMLP routes Belen pickups together with Los Lunas and Bosque Farms when the schedule permits. For donors who'd rather drop off, the 24/7 outdoor donation box at NMLP's North Valley warehouse (5445 Edith Blvd NE, Albuquerque) is roughly 45 minutes from Belen.
Other Belen-area options: Goodwill of New Mexico has Los Lunas and Belen drop-off centers (no pickup). The Belen Public Library accepts limited recent saleable books for periodic Friends sales. Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Belen takes books in small quantities alongside furniture donations.
For a free Belen pickup: call or text 505-250-3804. Mention "Belen" or "Valencia County" so the schedule routes correctly.
