Where to Donate Office Furniture Near Me? 7 Options [2026]

Several national charities accept office furniture, but their acceptance policies vary:

Habitat for Humanity ReStore is the best option for office furniture. ReStore locations accept desks, office chairs, conference tables, filing cabinets, cubicle systems, and shelving in good condition. They offer free pickup for large donations (typically 5+ items). Over 900 ReStore locations operate across the U.S.

Salvation Army accepts office desks, chairs, and tables through their free pickup program. Call 1-800-SA-TRUCK to schedule. They are selective — items must be in good, resalable condition with no major damage.

Goodwill has more limited office furniture acceptance. Most locations take small items like office chairs, desk lamps, and accessories. Large desks, cubicles, and conference tables are usually declined because of space constraints in their retail stores.

Downsizing or closing an office creates a large volume of furniture that individual charities may struggle to handle. For full-office liquidations:

Charities will refuse office furniture that is:

• •Broken, ripped, or structurally damaged (wobbly desks, chairs with broken mechanisms)
• •Heavily stained or soiled
• •Missing critical parts (desk drawers, chair bases, table legs)
• •Cubicle panels without hardware (panels alone are nearly impossible to reinstall)
• •Particle board furniture that is warped or delaminating

If your office furniture does not meet donation standards, junk removal is the next best option. Dropcurb picks up office furniture from the curb starting at $79 with same-day service. For full office cleanouts, Dropcurb handles any volume.

Yes. Donating office furniture to a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit qualifies for a tax deduction. The deduction is based on the fair market value of the items at the time of donation — not the original purchase price.

For office furniture, fair market value is typically 15–30% of the original retail price for items in good condition. A $500 office chair donated in good condition might be valued at $75–$150 for tax purposes.

Keep detailed records: photos of each item, a written description, the original purchase price if available, and the donation receipt from the charity. For donations valued over $5,000, an independent appraisal is required by the IRS.

Furniture banks collect donated furniture and distribute it to families transitioning out of homelessness, domestic violence situations, or poverty. Many accept office furniture — especially desks and chairs — because families need workspace at home.

To find furniture banks near you:

• •Search the National Furniture Bank Association directory at furniturebanks.org
• •Contact local United Way chapters (call 211) for referrals to furniture assistance programs
• •Search "[your city] furniture bank" or "[your city] furniture donation" for local organizations

Furniture banks typically offer free pickup for donations of 5+ items. Single items usually require drop-off.

If your furniture is high-end (Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll), selling may be worthwhile. Used Herman Miller Aeron chairs sell for $400–$700 on resale markets. Standard office desks sell for $50–$200.

For mid-range and budget office furniture, donation is usually more practical. The time spent listing, communicating with buyers, and coordinating pickup for 10+ items rarely justifies the resale value of generic office furniture.

The tax deduction from donation can also offset disposal costs. A company donating $10,000 worth of furniture (at fair market value) could save $2,000–$3,700 in taxes depending on their bracket.
