Drop off also works. Schedule through the website.

Good Haul

Good Haul picks up anything, regardless of condition. All usable items go to nonprofit partners, furniture to housewares to appliances. Metal, technology, and other recyclables are recycled. Only absolutely unsalvageable items go to the dump.

267-240-3944

Items can be picked up within 48 hours.

Pricing is $1.80/cubic square foot (minimum $99), less than for-profit companies. Revenue helps to fund Philadelphia Furniture Bank!

Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore

https://www.habitatphiladelphia.org/restore/

Furniture plus plumbing, roofing, lighting supplies; hardware; more.

2318 Washington Ave.  Phila 19146      215-764-6000     

Drop Off: Tue – Sat, 10 to 3.

Smaller Items

Most thrift shops put items that are stained/torn/don’t sell in a dumpster.

These two are different! A salvage company picks up any item made of fabric – clothes, curtains, belts, shoes, handbags, linens, rugs – pays the shop by weight, and resells these to recyclers. They also have “Free”  boxes for certain items, rare among thrift stores.
