The following companies pick up used furniture for free : Salvation Army Donation Pick Up, Goodwill Donation Pick Up, Amvets Donation Pick Up, Vietnam Veterans Donation Pick Up and Habitat for Humanity Donation Pick Up.

The sale of reusable salvage from old cars is only a small piece of the auto recycling pie. Once cars are crushed, they're shipped off to a recycling center where they are shredded and separated into small pieces, which are then sorted into various metals.

Most Goodwills offer pick up services for furniture or other large items that are hard to transport. Contact your local Goodwill to find out whether or not pick-up service is available in your community.
