Austin has active nonprofit thrift stores, reuse centers and ReStores, and several pick up furniture. Donating saves hauling costs and keeps good items in use.
With so many households downsizing in a growing city, donation pickup slots can fill quickly.
Austin donation centers accept furniture, household goods and clothing, with pickup for larger items at some organizations. ReStores also take appliances and building materials.
Each organization on this list was confirmed as an active nonprofit or charity-run program with a real donation drop-off or pickup service in the Austin area, not a for-profit resale operation or an unattended drop box.
