What happens to your furniture after pickup
Furniture in usable condition — structurally sound, clean, no major damage — is donated to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, and Salvation Army. Our haulers prioritize donation whenever possible. Wood furniture that can't be donated may be recycled or repurposed. Metal frames and hardware are sent to scrap processors. Items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of at licensed solid waste facilities.
