WHAT CHARITIES PICK UP FURNITURE?

Tinkrbl44 · ‎08-23-2010

I'm getting new carpeting installed and some of the furniture will be going. I've had some furniture in storage I'm bringing in. I've called a couple local charities to donate the outgoing pieces, but they want the stuff brought to the curb, which surprised me.

Have you ever donated furniture? Any and all suggestions welcome.

Do you live near a college? Kids in college often need furniture. They are generally young and physically fit, so they can haul the furniture away if they really want it. Spread the word that you have some pieces available; see if you get any responses that way.

I've been frustrated with the furniture removal process too. Yes many places like a charity or garbage removal will want you to bring it to the curb....some charities just won't take it. You might have luck with someone like a college student who wouldn't mind old stuff but I didn't.

I decided to do the easy thing for me when I got rid of my old living room furniture over the summer. I called 1800 Got Junk. They aren't cheap but they come on time and will let you know half an hour before they arrive, are very polite & professional.

@Tinkrbl44, I'm in the same dilemma. Ive called some charities like Goodwill, Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanities who will pick up furniture but mine is too big. I wanted bedroom furniture donated because I need new carpeting desperately and there's no place to put the old furniture while installing the carpet. (I'm not that young, lol).

Then I find out that even if I get someone to pick it up, buying new furniture to replace it could take six months or more!!! So, I decided to only get rid of the bed and wall unit but I will have to pay a company to move it. First place said ok, then cancelled saying they didn't have manpower to pick it up. Now I have an appointment for another company to pick it up this Friday. Hoping for the best. Good luck to you.

In my area, Salvation Army, Purple Heart, Habitat for Humanity pick up if you bring it out of the house and we have to call to set it up.

We have a "Habitat For Humanity Restore"who came and took mine twice, two Lazyboys and years later ,livingroom futniture which was in good condition. They also take appliances that are working. I had to get a new washer and got a new set even though the dryer still was working. The hardware/appliance store said they would donate the dryer to Restore. The problem is they only often have so much space which may not coincide with your plans.

@Tinkrbl44 We donate to Lighthouse for the Blind, and they pick up furniture. You could call your local thrift stores and charities to see who can pick up. They will need to schedule a date and time, and sometimes they are a few days behind.
