Furniture and Appliance Pickups

We offer pickups of furniture and appliances on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9am and 12pm.

Call 607-687-1121 ext. 302 to schedule your pickup! It is recommended to call a couple weeks in advance to make sure you can get on the schedule as availability fluctuates throughout the year.

​

Please Note: Our drivers will not pick up items that have been left outside for any amount of time.  Drivers have the final say in what they will accept.  Please understand that your donations are either given to those in need, or are sold in our thrift store, the proceeds of which fund our many programs for the community.  Therefore, we can only accept items that are suitable for resale.  No items with soil, stains, heavy pet traffic, or with broken pieces will be accepted.  We do not have anyone on staff to repair or clean items.  We will not accept items, such as small appliances, that are not in working order.  Thank you for your understanding!
