You can donate furniture to several charities that often offer free pickup services:
- Habitat for Humanity ReStores : They accept most furniture like sofas, chairs, tables, dressers, and bed frames. Many locations offer free pickup. Your donation is sold to support affordable housing projects. Check your local ReStore for pickup availability and scheduling
- The Salvation Army : Accepts furniture and large appliances. You can drop off items or schedule a free pickup by entering your ZIP code online or calling your local store
- Goodwill : Many Goodwill stores provide free donation pickup for furniture, but policies vary by location, so contact your local store first
- The Furniture Bank : Distributes gently used furniture to families in need. Pickup availability varies by location and may have fees
- Other charities with pickup services include AMVETS (for limited furniture), The Arc, and regional/local organizations like Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Father Joe’s Village, and Veterans Thrift Store in some cities
- In the UK, charities like British Heart Foundation (BHF) and Sue Ryder offer free furniture collection services with online booking, accepting furniture in good, saleable condition
To donate, typically you provide details about your items, your address, and preferred pickup date online or by phone. Make sure your furniture is in good condition and meets the charity’s guidelines. Some donations may qualify for tax deductions. Start by searching for local Habitat ReStore, Salvation Army, or Goodwill locations near you to arrange a pickup or drop-off
