  1. What Items Can I Donate to a Charity Furniture Pick Up? Donating furniture is a wonderful way to help those in need while clearing out space in your home. If you have gently-used furniture items you want to donate, a charity furniture pick up service can make the process hassle-free. Here is a detailed list of various items that most organizations will gladly accept, along with tips on how to prepare your furniture for donation. Types of Furniture Accepted by a Charity Furniture Pick Up Every organization differs in what items they will and will not accept for local donations, so it is always important to confirm that your furniture items can be donated. However, common items accepted by DonationPickup.org and other donation services include: 1. Sofas and Couches Sofas and couches are popular donation items! Before donating, ensure they are in good condition without any major stains, tears, or structural damage. You should also clean them thoroughly, including vacuuming under the cushions and spot-cleaning any marks. 2. Televisions Many organizations accept working televisions. The TV must be functional, and be sure to include the remote and any necessary cables if you have them. 3. Lamps Lamps and lighting fixtures are always in demand. Make sure they work and include all necessary parts, including the lampshade. 4. Rugs Rugs can add warmth and comfort to a home, making them valuable local donations. Vacuum the rug to remove dirt and dust. If possible, roll the rug up tightly and secure it for easy handling.

  2. 5. Coffee Tables and Side Tables These small pieces of furniture can make a big difference in someone’s home. Before donating, ensure they are sturdy and free from major scratches or dings. 6. Chairs If you have extra chairs that you no longer need, consider donating them to a charity furniture pick up! They can make a great addition to someone’s dining room table or desk. Check the legs for wobbliness or loose screws, and inspect the cushion for tears or damage. 7. Bookshelves Bookshelves and storage units provide much-needed organization for many homes, classrooms, and other spaces. To be donated, they should be sturdy and free of major damage. 8. Dressers Storage furniture like dressers and chests are essential for many households. They should be in good condition and include all drawers and handles. Also, make sure the drawers are empty of any clothing and household donations near me.
