North Jersey households tend to have a lot of good, solid furniture, and the region has several Habitat ReStores and a dedicated furniture bank that put it back to use. Donating also saves on hauling fees when a house is being cleared.
Between Bergen, Essex and Morris counties there are enough options that most families can donate the large pieces without driving far.
North Jersey’s Habitat ReStores in Fairfield, Randolph and Westwood accept furniture, appliances and building materials, and Bergen’s ReStore offers donation pickup. Furniture Assist in Springfield passes donated furniture to New Jersey families rebuilding their lives.
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 North Jersey area, not a for-profit resale operation or an unattended drop box.

The Bergen County ReStore schedules donation pickups. Others may too, so check each store’s current options before you call.

Stained or torn upholstery, mattresses, broken appliances and items that need repair are commonly declined.
A cleanout company can remove the rest, and many will drop usable items at a donation center on the way.
