Anyone in the DMV area know of a place to donate furniture and other large, heavy household items that will actually come into the home and get them for free? I keep finding places that will only do curbside pickups or want me to pay for pickups. I can’t get these items out of the house on my own, and I sort of object to the idea of paying to “donate” things.

You can list it for free on Facebook Marketplace if you’re brave!

Keep your furniture then or pay to have it hauled out. You can’t always have it all. 🤷‍♀️

If you list on Facebook Marketplace, I’d suggest charging a nominal fee to weed out the folks that aren’t serious.

I don’t think you’ll find anyone that comes into the house without cost. If you do, please share. Paying to donate offsets the cost for the organization which is usually a nonprofit, maybe ask for a donation receipt for the cost of the pick up?

Habitat For Humanity Restore and GreenDrop/Purple Heart Pickup won’t come into the house but they don’t make you pay for curbside. When I had to get rid of stuff, I just paid a junk hauler that promised to donate the usable stuff and hoped they actually did.

Alternatively, do Facebook market place and have a guy you know come over and act like he lives there.
