Living in a tidy, organized home can help lower your stress and make daily life more peaceful. And I know from experience that the challenge can come down to figuring out what to do with all the items you need to clear out, especially big things such as furniture and appliances.

Getting rid of things quickly can help prevent clutter from piling up. If you only have a small amount of stuff, dropping it off at a local charity or thrift store is a great option. But when you have multiple bags or large items, hauling everything to a donation center can be a real chore, if not downright impossible! That’s where these companies come in—they'll pick up your donations from your doorstep, free of charge.

The Salvation Army

For more than 150 years, the Salvation Army has been helping people in need. This nonprofit organization operates in more than 131 countries. At Salvation Army thrift stores, donated furniture is sold at low prices, and the funds support their alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers.
