DonateStuff.com

DonateStuff.com makes it easy to declutter while supporting charities. The service arranges free, at-home pickup of gently used clothing and household donations across service areas in Chicago, Michigan, Houston, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Dallas. Donors enter their ZIP code, choose a participating charity, schedule a convenient pickup, and leave items outside; they do not need to be home. After collection, DonateStuff emails a receipt for tax records.

Accepted items include women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, shoes, jewelry, purses, household goods, and small furniture. The service excludes tube TVs, large appliances, cribs, car seats, mattresses, and box springs. Collected usable goods are given a second life, helping keep them out of landfills while generating support for local and national nonprofit partners.

DonateStuff also offers a fundraising program for nonprofits, which can promote the service to supporters and raise money without out-of-pocket expenses. The organization reports that its pickups have raised funds for charity and improved lives, and it shares partner news, service information, and donation guidance through its website.
