Tax-deductible Estate Sale Donations

Sequence: sale → donation pickup → junk removal.
Outcome: most homes are cleared within a week of beginning setup.

What we do

Once your estate sale date is on the calendar, we lock in the post-sale steps:

  • Schedule a free charity donation pickup for donate-eligible leftovers.
  • Schedule junk removal for the day after the charity pickup to clear what isn’t accepted.

You get firm windows before setup begins. After the sale ends, the rest moves out without delays.

What charities typically accept

  • Usable furniture (tables, chairs, dressers, shelves)
  • Household goods and kitchenware
  • Small working appliances
  • Clothing & linens in good condition
  • Books, décor, artwork, and small accessories

Common declines

  • Mattresses; damaged or heavily worn items
  • Large office/commercial furniture; pianos/organs
  • Hazardous materials, paints/chemicals
  • Non-working appliances/electronics

FAQs

When are donation and junk removal scheduled?

As soon as the estate sale date is set. We book both in advance so the house clears immediately after the sale.

How fast is the whole process?

Typically within a week of beginning setup, subject to charity/hauler availability and item volume.

Do you schedule both steps?

Yes. We schedule the donation pickup and the following-day junk removal. You get confirmed windows before setup.

Can you do donations without a sale?

Yes. If you’re skipping the sale, we’ll advise what usually qualifies and schedule a pickup.

Will I get a donation receipt?

Receipts come from the receiving charity. For valuation or deductibility, talk to your tax professional.

What if the charity declines certain items?

They’re handled in the scheduled junk-removal step the next day.
