Donate clothing, books, and household items

There are three ways to donate, and all of them are free. Drop items in a bin, bring them to a drop-off location, or book a home pickup for larger loads. Everything collected is resold, and the proceeds fund youth mentoring programs.

Drop it in a bin

Bins are open around the clock, so there is nothing to book and no waiting. Find the closest one on the bin map, bag your items, and push them through the chute.

Book a free pickup

Have more than fits in your car, or no vehicle to get there? We collect from your door at no charge. Pick a date, leave your bags out that morning, and you do not need to be home.

What we accept

Clean, dry clothing, shoes, linens, books, and small household goods such as dishes and cookware. Leave out anything wet, torn, or broken, since it cannot be resold. The full list is here.

Recycling bottles?

You can return bottles at Regional Recycling and direct the refund to Big Brothers. It costs nothing and takes a couple of minutes.

Where your donation goes

Donated items are sorted and resold, and the money raised funds mentoring programs that match young people with a caring adult in their community. A bag of outgrown clothes pays for part of that work, and it keeps usable textiles out of the landfill at the same time.
