FREE Pickup For Furniture, Appliances, Clothing & More

Giving your items - and people - a second chance

Our Mission

Second Chance Pickups’ mission is to economize and simplify pickup while creating positive change by keeping reusable items out of landfills, giving them a second life through reselling, donating, recycling, and other sustainable practices.

Second Chance Pickup is a revenue generating company and we don't hide that fact. However, we don’t make money by charging you. By upcycling a small percentage of the items we receive, it allows us to continue to offer our pickup services for free. Proceeds go towards things like marketing, labor, vehicle maintenance, gas, facility cost, and many other functions critical to the continuance of our mission. All other items are donated to local thrift stores, charities, and organizations.

How can you offer Free Pickup?

What type of items do you take?

At Second Chance Pickups, we are happy to offer free pickup of your furniture, appliances, and household items. We also offer free pickup for commercial clients as well. All items must be in good, usable condition to ensure it can be effectively repurposed or donated. Please note that the assessment of your item's condition is at our sole discretion.

Items that are excessively worn, stained, torn, broken, infested, or have significant structural damage are not eligible for pickup. Our goal is to pickup items that can truly have a "second chance". We appreciate your cooperation!

Our Purpose

Second Chance Pickups is unique in that we act as a much needed middle ground between donors and the organizations that put items to real use. By carefully collecting, sorting, and evaluating your items, we’re able to direct them to the places where they can do the most good—rather than letting usable items fall through the cracks, sit overpriced on store floors, or end up discarded.

Many donation centers are limited by space, staffing, or narrow intake guidelines. As a result, perfectly usable items are often declined. That’s where we step in. We take the time to assess each item and match it with the right outlet—whether that’s a nonprofit partner, community organization, resale channel that funds local programs, or another responsible reuse pathway.

In short - we get your items directly to the people who need it most, when they need it most. Below are just some of the places your donation may end up.
