Where to donate a used walker

Look for a durable medical equipment reuse program that accepts walkers. GotDME lets you search donation organizations by ZIP code or state. As a specific local option, Broward County’s Area Agency on Aging accepts clean, new or gently used walkers after you contact the organization about the donation.

Describe the walker before arranging a handoff

Tell the recipient whether it is a basic frame or a wheeled model and disclose any missing or damaged parts. Let the organization decide whether it can accept and prepare the equipment for reuse. Acceptance of one model does not establish acceptance of every mobility aid.

Confirm receiving arrangements

For Broward County’s program, call 954-745-9567 to discuss the item. For other locations, contact the organization listed in the directory. Confirm the destination and receiving time instead of leaving equipment outside without an arrangement.

When Dropcurb helps

If an accepted nonmotorized walking frame needs removal, Dropcurb lists a Walker item for pickup outside and accessible. Powered mobility equipment is a different item and needs separate confirmation. Standard removal does not include medical-equipment refurbishment or a guaranteed donation destination.
