Do we have a store that appraises, and picks up all the stuff that you don't want from your home?

There are companies that will sell your stuff on eBay for you as a service. I’m not sure if there are any that will come to your house and take it away, though you might see if you can get someone else to do that step for you. It might be more difficult in Red Deer, than in a large US city, though.

There are also people who sell things on the Internet themselves, who go to garage sales and estate sales and so on to get inventory, whom you might be able to entice to come get your books… though they’d really be interested in the books they can sell quickly, rather than in clearing out the books they can’t. They tend to sell on Amazon, and have scanners that can find items and get the sales statistics for a book or other item very quickly. These people are out to make a profit, so I wouldn’t expect to get a whole lot that way.

Your stuff is not worth it. That is why you have it take to Goodwill or Salvation Army to give it away.

People don’t pay for most of the junk people accumulate. They pay people to haul it away.

When I inherited my parents house, I had an appraiser come in and give me an offer for all the furnishings. He made what I believed to be a fair offer, and took it all away. I later discovered the vintage kitchen table and chairs were worth the entire amount. He probably just took the rest to hide the fact.

@zenvelo Or, depending on what it is, it might be worth something, if you want to invest the time and effort to sell it to people who do want it.

Twenty years ago there was a shop in the next town that sold antiques but also was “eBay Store”. They would have you leave an item and they would post it on eBay and charge you usual fees for plus a fixed amount. The FedEx store was in the next parking lot for shipping.
