From most locations in the United State, a pick-up service is available. In order to find centers that are near to you, enter your zip code.
  4. You may wait for at least 7 to 14 days between the pick-up date and your initial phone call. Depending on the area of the country, wait time will be varying.

    If we donate furniture to you and have your truck pick it up, do your workers carry the items to the truck and pack it?
