WHERE TO DONATE AND SELL LOCALLY
Charlottesville Organizing has established relationships with local thrift and consignment stores. Our ever-growing list includes:
Feeling overwhelmed?
We’re happy to help support you in the decluttering journey by taking your old furniture or large items to consignment stores on your behalf. We will transport the items, get them priced for you, and give your information to the store, so all you have to do is collect your money when the piece sells.
NON-TRADITIONAL DONATIONS
Before you toss that stained shirt, think again! Many items beyond repair can still be recycled and/or repurposed. We compiled this list of resources for our clients but thought others might find it helpful, too. Feel free to spread the word!
