Check the local donation policy first
Goodwill organizations set their own regional donation policies, so acceptance by one location does not establish acceptance nationwide. Ask the specific receiving Goodwill about the cabinet’s material, size and condition before loading it or arranging transport.

Prepare the cabinet for transfer
Remove documents and other contents before giving the cabinet away. If you donate it, keep the cabinet’s keys with it when possible. A compact wooden cabinet and a large or metal cabinet may receive different decisions from the organization you contact.
If drawer removal is needed for the move, follow the filing-cabinet drawer-removal guide for the exact mechanism.

If you need pickup instead
Dropcurb fits an accepted standard cabinet that is one compact freestanding storage or filing cabinet, with its drawers and shelves emptied and not a kitchen cabinet fixed to a wall. For an accepted cabinet already outside and accessible, Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal. Indoor carry-out is not available, so move it outside yourself or use a service that includes indoor carrying.

Frequently asked questions
Can Goodwill take a small wooden filing cabinet?
Possibly, but the local Goodwill must confirm it. Regional policies differ, and a general furniture category does not establish that a filing cabinet is accepted. Ask about the cabinet’s material and size before transporting it.
