I take everything Jewish and in good condition because I run a yearly book
sale. I box it up and place it in our synagogue's storage until the sale.
Whatever doesn't sell over 2-3 years I leave out for anyone to take and
whatever is left from that goes to our public library for their book sale.
Whatever they can't use I believe is sent to Better World Books (which could be
your starting point if you don't want to go through any of the rest, though
even Better World Books won't take everything.)

What do people do with unwanted donations? I have a box of all-Hebrew (to the
point where I can't even tell you what they are) books someone dropped outside
the library door. No name. there is an 11 volume Hebrew dictionary (we have one
on the shelf) but many of the others are a mystery.
Books that are donated that we already have or do not wish to add to our
collection, I do put on a cart for free or donation. When those have been there
a month or more, I move them to the local public library's sale cart, or the
geniza if necessary, or the trash.
I've requested (and posted numerous signs) that people call or email first, and
then bring the books, but that hasn't helped.
