Who picks up donations in Orlando
We may not have a featured partner in Orlando that can guarantee a pickup, but we have a network of nonprofits we can ask. Your request goes to every one of them within 15 miles of your address: thrift stores, furniture banks, shelters and other charities that run their own trucks.
It’s first come, first served. Depending on what you’re giving and how full their routes are, you might hear from two or three organizations or from none. Whoever can use your items contacts you directly, usually within 48 hours. If nobody has reached out by then, no nonprofit took the request.
Priority Pickup. Check the Priority Pickup box on the same form and a provider will contact you to quote a fee. It’s the right choice when you need a firm date, have items nonprofits won’t take, or are clearing out a whole house. You can request both at once and take whichever offer works.
What’s different about a pickup in Orlando
Put these details in your request. Nonprofits say yes more often when they know what they’re walking into.
- Hurricane season. From June through November, storms push pickups back, and nonprofits can’t take water-damaged items.
- Gated communities. Many subdivisions and complexes have gated entries and rules about items at the curb. Give the gate process and plan a garage or porch pickup.
- Tourist traffic. Traffic near International Drive and the theme parks slows crews down. If you live nearby, pick a weekday morning.
Neighborhoods and suburbs we serve
We route requests from downtown, Thornton Park, College Park, Audubon Park, Baldwin Park, Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, MetroWest, Conway, Mills 50, Ivanhoe Village and Hunter’s Creek, plus Winter Park, Maitland, Kissimmee, Oviedo, Apopka, Winter Garden and Sanford. Which nonprofits get yours depends on your zip code and what you’re donating; the form checks coverage when you enter it.
Donating furniture in Orlando
Furniture is the most requested pickup. Sofas, dressers, dining sets and bed frames in clean, intact condition are what nonprofits want; mattresses and damaged upholstery usually aren’t. See what furniture qualifies for free pickup before you submit. If your piece doesn’t qualify, Priority Pickup takes it for a fee. If you were hoping Goodwill or the Salvation Army would come, see whether Goodwill picks up furniture and how Salvation Army pickup works.
