items I recently did a complete estate cleanout and even after the estate sale, there were a lot of items to dispose of. After doing a lot of online research I finally found homes for all of the household and clothing items that were left. Some of the busi...

WeCycle NYC
That Suits You is a New York City non-profit that accepts donations of suits, ties, and accessories (tie clips, socks, etc). They are somewhat selective of the size and style of clothing that they accept, so it's best to give them a call. They can ar...
That Suits You

Pick Up My Donation

Salvation Army Thrift Stores
I'm a fan of Habitat for Humanity because of all the great work they do. They will pick up your household items for their thrift store, but depending on where you live, you might have to wait weeks to months as they're very busy.
Habitat for Humanity ReStore
I don't know a lot about this company, because they didn't pickup in my area, however they seem to have a good mission of helping Veterans. They appear to be a company that picks up clothing and household items on behalf of charities. Not sure if the...
Pickup Please
Probably the most famous of all junk removal companies,1 800 Got Junk will pick up almost anything. They do charge quite a bit for their service, so I do generally recommend looking to other companies first, but if you are on a tight timeline, these ...
1-800-GOT-JUNK
I haven't actually had the opportunity to make use of Load Up. They're similar to 1 800 Got Junk in that they're a for profit company and they do charge to remove your stuff. Because they're not a charity and they charge a fee, I suspect you can hire...
Load Up
I love this charity, they have a great mission. That said, they're not everywhere and depending on how far you live from a store, they may not pickup in your area. It's worth a call though since they will take both clothing and household items.
Out of the Closet

Housing Works
I'm a fan of Big Reuse. They're a non-profit with a good mission and they'll pickup your household items and furniture for free. They're reliable and professional. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the New York City area.
Big Reuse
If you're looking for a charity that will pickup bags of clothing in the New York/Long Island area, these folks will get the job done and there's no fee. They also do some household items, but not furniture at this time.
St. Mary’s Clothing Drive
I haven't had the opportunity to make use of this company. They only service the New York City area and they don't accept furniture or appliances. They do however pickup for free and they don't seem to have a minimum requirement like some other chari...
All of Us Clothing
Vintage Thrift is a non-profit thrift store that benefits the United Jewish Council of the East Side. This is a New York City only situation. They will accept clothing as well as most furniture and home accessories.

The Junkluggers are a New York City and area alternative to 1-800-Got-Junk. They will charge a fee for their services, but they can schedule a same-day pickup which is great when you're in a pinch.
