How to Prepare Your Donation

A few simple steps help our driver find your donation and keep every item in reusable condition.

                                Bag Your Clothing
Pack clothing, shoes, handbags, bedding and curtains in tied bags. Please keep shoes in pairs.

                                Box Other Items
Pack kitchen items, small electronics and small toys securely in boxes. Kitchen devices and electronics must be clean and fully working.

                                Label Your Donation
Mark your bags and boxes “American Clothing” so our driver can easily find them.

                                Leave It Outside
Once your pickup is confirmed, place your donation on your porch, by your door or in your building lobby.

Our Driver Picks It Up

On pickup day, our driver texts you about 10 to 20 minutes before arriving. The pickup window is usually 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Because pickups are planned by route, we cannot guarantee a specific arrival time.

Please Don’t Include

Furniture and mattresses, large appliances, microwaves and toaster ovens, home decorations, glassware and dishes, pillows and cushions, large or damaged toys, books, DVDs, CDs, vehicles, used towels, single shoes or socks, fabric scraps, and anything dirty, broken or in need of repair. We are a donation pickup nonprofit, not a junk removal, moving or cleanout service.

Have something else to donate? If your item is not listed, please contact us before scheduling a pickup. We may be able to accept it on a case-by-case basis.

Scheduling Questions

How soon will my pickup happen?

Pickups are scheduled by geographic area and route availability. We will confirm your pickup by text.

Can I choose a specific pickup time?

Yes, but our drivers do not go upstairs to individual apartments. Please leave your donation in the building lobby, with the concierge or front desk, or in another accessible area your building allows. Include your apartment number and any buzzer or gate code when you schedule.

Yes. Text or WhatsApp us at 908-536-9565 with your full address, ZIP code and the number of bags or boxes.
