Salvation Army Pick Up

Get rid of those unwanted items by taking advantage of Salvation Army pick up services. Find out if your local branch offers pick up services the next time you consider making a donation.

The Salvation Army can pick up your unwanted items!

The Salvation Army accepts many forms of donations. From monetary contributions to donations of household goods and clothing, anything that helps make the lives of those less fortunate better are appreciated. Donations of furniture and household goods can often be arranged to be picked up at your residence.

This is a convenient service of the Salvation Army since many people are unable to deliver large items to their local Salvation Army. It is also a convenient service to those unable to drive but wanting to donate items. Instead of setting your unwanted item out for trash, contact your local Salvation Army to see if they have pick up available in your area.

Types of items that are accepted as donations include:

• Clothing for men, women and children
• Furniture in good condition; can be beds, dressers, chairs, sofas, tables, etc.
• Appliances such as washers, dryers, air conditioners, stoves, microwaves, TVs, refrigerators are all accepted
• Miscellaneous items such as bicycles, lawn mowers and even office equipment
• Vehicles

Donations must be in working condition and clean and ready to be used. Since pick up services cost the organization money, it is best to have the items in the best possible condition. If you have questions about a potential donation, it is best to discuss it with your local Salvation Army.

A Salvation Army pick up can be scheduled by calling 1-800-SA-TRUCK (1-800-728-7825). You will be able to talk about arranging a pick up of your unwanted items along with finding out your closest drop off location.

When you donate an item to the Salvation Army, it often will end up in a Salvation Army Family Store. The stores are in many communities and exist to provide quality items such as clothing and furniture at a discounted price. The proceeds of the sales go to help the Salvation Army Rehab Centers. The Centers help women and men gain self-esteem along with learning vocational skills that can help them succeed in life.

Pick up services from the Salvation Army vary by region. It is best to contact your local branch to find out if they offer pick up services. Since picking up items cost the Salvation Army money, it is considerate to keep several things in mind:

• Have your donation in its best possible condition.
• If you scheduled a pick up, be sure to be there and don’t make the staff wait on you.
