![]() ![]() You can donate any furniture or appliances, but we won’t be able to pass on all of them. ![]() We’ve worked with some of these organizations for years and are proud of the impact we have had on our community. The charities and other organizations we work with help these individuals get the furniture they need for free or at a very low cost. We also want to help those in Cincinnati and the surrounding communities who may not have the resources to purchase furniture. They take up additional space and lead to more raw materials being used to create new furniture. There are many items that we pick up that can still be used, so why shouldn’t they be? Putting these gently used items in the landfill is a waste. That is a tall order, but we truly believe that it’s possible. Junk King’s goal is to donate or recycle at least 60 percent of everything we collect. We cover any additional costs and the manpower it takes to sort through the junk we collect because we are dedicated to protecting the environment. We do not charge anything extra for this work, nor do we include any fees for donating furniture. One question we often get is why do we donate furniture? It does take more work to sort out furniture and other items that are in good condition and donate them. In some cases, such as when we take donated furniture to a shelter, the organization itself may use it. Once we drop off the furniture, it’s up to the organization to pass it on to those who need it. If it’s not, we will take it to the landfill or recycling center. This ensures that the furniture is truly in good condition and can be used. When we drop off furniture, it’s typically deep cleaned and carefully checked over before being given to those who need it. These organizations are dedicated to helping Cincinnatians in need get back on their feet. We then take the donated furniture, appliances, and any other items to one of the local organizations and charities we work with. We will separate out what’s garbage and what can be donated. ![]() In fact, you can combine a donation with a junk pickup. When you donate furniture, Junk King will come and pick it up just as we would any other junk. This helps reduce the amount of garbage we add to the landfill plus helps those in need. When we find these working appliances and gently used furniture, we don’t take them to the dump. A good amount of what we haul away is garbage, of course, but there are some items that are still in good condition. Our trucks are busy every day picking up junk from our residential and commercial customers. ![]()
