Important donation FAQs:

Can you carry my items down a flight of stairs?

No. Unfortunately, we cannot carry items up or down flights of stairs.
Your items can be on the curb, the porch, the garage or a similar space as long as they are at the street level and accessible to our truck and crew.

Will I get a receipt for tax purposes?

Yes! You’ll get a receipt listing the items you’ve donated, which you can use for your taxes.

Do I need to be home for the pickup?

No. If you won’t be at home, just let us know where to find your items. We’ll leave your receipt under the door or in your mailbox. If items are to be left outside, please use caution to avoid theft or weather damage. If items are stolen or damaged prior to the scheduled pick up date, please notify us as soon as possible so that we do not waste precious staff time or fuel.
