Where to donate furniture and household items, by county
When you clear out a house, the usable furniture, dishes and linens can go to a family setting up a new home, or to a nonprofit resale shop, instead of a dumpster. This page lists 9 nonprofits that take household donations in Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk, Barnstable and Bristol counties. For each one, it shows what they take, whether they pick up or you drop off, and the area they serve.
Everything here comes from the organization's own website, with a link to the page and the date we checked it. If a site didn't say something, like a pickup fee or the towns it covers, we left it blank instead of guessing. Rules and hours change, so call or check the link before you load the car.
None of these list mattresses or box springs as accepted, and most say outright that they can't take them. For those, and for anything else nobody will take, see the town disposal rules table.
Before you call
- Take photos of each piece, with measurements for couches, dressers and tables. Most of these groups ask for photos or decide at the door.
- Expect a condition check. Most of these organizations say they can turn down stained, torn, broken or worn items, even ones on its list.
- Check the age of appliances. Most of these limit refrigerators, washers and other appliances to newer models, and the cutoff differs by organization.
- Ask for a receipt. Several of these organizations say donations are tax deductible.
- If a cleanout company is clearing the house, ask whether they drop off donations for you. See questions to ask a cleanout company.

We only list an organization after reading its donation rules on its own website. Some well-known donation spots aren't here yet because we couldn't confirm their current rules, or because they have closed. If you run a nonprofit in these counties that takes household donations, the details on your own site are what we would use.
