If an appliance is still working, hauling those items you don’t want or need anymore can be a hassle, especially in the summer heat.
There are numerous charities in the DFW area, and they’re not just happy to take old appliances off donors’ hands, they’ll send a truck to the front door, load up the items, and be on their way. It takes just a few clicks to get a service rep to come knocking and drive off with that old appliance.
Here are 10 options that will save a lot of time, energy, and, most importantly, money.
Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity
This nonprofit accepts appliances, cabinets, doors, electrical supplies, flooring, hardware, tools, and several other items. But they will only take items from the first floor of homes and buildings, garages, or driveways. They will not accept items that require using stairs, take long distances to collect, or involve any obstacles.
DonationTown
This site accepts general donations based on ZIP code. Scheduling a pick-up is as easy as entering your ZIP code, choosing a charity in your area, and setting a date.
PickUpMyDonation
Another catch-all option allows folks to donate, even if they don’t have a charity in mind. PickUpMyDonation sends pick-up requests to partner agencies based on location, but if an affiliate isn’t close enough to for a visit, the site will contact all charities operating locally to find one that will take items off donors’ hands. Note that organizations will only schedule pick-ups for larger donations because of resources.
