Goodwill Pickup Service
Currently, we offer pick up service at no cost for individuals donating furniture and/or household goods so we can prioritize assistance to donors with oversized items. Your pickup will be scheduled at the first available opportunity. On your pickup day, you will be required to sit your donations outside for our drivers to collect.
