DIY Donation Drop-Off Services In the Bay Area, CA
Some of the most common charities that typically accept clothing and donations, including the Salvation Army, Savers, Habitat For Humanity Restore, and GoodWill, have slowly started to reopen regionally and are now allowing very limited donation drop-offs here in the Bay Area. Keep in mind that these organizations are still not up to full capacity though, and there’s a very high demand for donating items. So plan to be a little patient, as you may have to hold on to your donations for a few months. There may also be new restrictions on what each facility will accept, so make sure you check their website ahead of time. For example, Habitat For Humanity Restore is temporarily declining things like used cloth and fabric couches, loveseats, futons, and more. Will these organizations pick-up my furniture donations at my Bay Area home? Many of these donation organizations are also still temporarily not doing donation pick-up services for small or large items like furniture (bed sets, dressers, couches, sofas, love seats, china cabinets, and more). So if you are looking to donate furniture in the Bay Area and are looking for a non-profit organization to pick-up your furniture donations, it is highly unlikely during this time. Nixxit can help though! Learn more here.What do you do if you don’t have the time to hold on to your donation items until non-profits are running at full capacity?
If you don’t have the time to hold on-to your donation goods, we strongly suggest other alternative DIY donation methods, such as:- Craigslist
- Facebook Market Place
- Your Local Bay Area FreeCycle Facebook Groups
- Your Local Bay Area Mother Facebook Groups (great for children’s toys and clothing)
- Contacting your local woman’s shelter
- Checking into other local organizations or efforts such as schools or Boy Scouts of America
Tip – Post on your local Nextdoor to see if anyone knows of any nearby events or organizations that may be collecting used goods!
