RICHMOND'S DONATION PICKUP & DELIVERY EXPERTS
Professional service. Community values. Results you can count on.
You've got furniture in good shape that you're ready to part with, closets full of clothes your family has outgrown, or appliances that still work but you've replaced. You know someone could use these items—they're too good for the landfill. But getting them to a charity donation center yourself means loading your car multiple times, driving across town, unloading everything, and hoping they'll accept what you've brought. For larger items like couches and dining sets, it's not even possible without renting a truck.
That's where Junk Goats comes in. We provide professional donation pickup and delivery services throughout Richmond and all of Central Virginia. Our experienced team collects your usable furniture, appliances, clothing, and household items directly from your home or business and delivers them to local Richmond charities on your behalf. Whether you're downsizing, moving, cleaning out an estate, or just decluttering, we make donating simple and stress-free.
We work with established Richmond-area charities including Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill Central Virginia, CARITAS, Salvation Army, and other nonprofit organizations serving our community. Our donation service includes in-home pickup, careful loading and transport, direct delivery to receiving charities, and donation receipts for your tax records. We handle the logistics, paperwork, and heavy lifting so you can support Richmond nonprofits without the hassle. From single items to entire households, Junk Goats ensures your donations reach people who need them most.
DONATION PICKUP SERVICES IN RICHMOND, VA
Complete donation pickup and charity delivery throughout Richmond metro area.
Our donation services help Richmond residents and businesses support local charities without the time, effort, and vehicle requirements of doing it yourself. We understand that donation drop-off isn't always practical—you'd need to load bulky furniture, make multiple trips for large donations, coordinate with charity hours and acceptance policies, and handle all the physical labor. Our team has established relationships with Richmond-area charities, knows what each organization accepts, and handles the entire donation process from pickup at your door to delivery at the charity's facility.

WHY RICHMOND TRUSTS JUNK GOATS FOR DONATIONS
We Handle Everything
You don't need to load your car, drive across town, or unload at donation centers. We come to your home or business, pick up everything you're donating, transport it safely, and deliver it directly to receiving charities. You point, we load, we deliver. You get donation receipts for your tax records without ever leaving your property. We coordinate with charity receiving hours, acceptance policies, and all logistics so donating is actually convenient for you.
Items Go to Local Charities
Your donations stay in Richmond supporting Richmond residents. We partner with established local nonprofits—not national chains or third-party brokers. We know which organizations accept what items, when they have capacity, and what's most needed right now. Your furniture might furnish an apartment for a family leaving homelessness. Your working appliances could help someone rebuilding after hardship. Your clothing supports job seekers preparing for interviews. We ensure your donations reach people who need them most.
Tax Deductible Receipts
We provide official donation receipts from receiving charities for your tax records. When we deliver your items, we obtain documentation showing what was donated, which organization received it, and the date of donation. You can claim tax deductions for charitable donations with proper documentation. We handle the paperwork and coordination with charities so you have what you need for tax purposes without the administrative hassle of managing it yourself.

DONATION SERVICE VS. JUNK REMOVAL
Understanding the difference helps you choose the right service for your situation.
Donation Pickup Service
When to choose donation pickup:
- Items are in good, usable condition
- Furniture is clean and structurally sound
- Appliances and electronics are working
- You want to support Richmond charities
- You need tax-deductible donation receipts
What happens:
- We pick up items from your home or business
- We deliver directly to Richmond charity partners
- You receive official donation receipts
- Items are reused by people who need them
- You support local nonprofits and community
Pricing:
Same pricing as standard junk removal (volume-based). The benefit is your items support Richmond charities instead of going to landfill, and you receive tax-deductible donation receipts.
Standard Junk Removal
When to choose junk removal:
- Items are damaged, broken, or non-functional
- Furniture has significant wear, stains, or damage
- Appliances don't work or need repair
- You need everything removed regardless of condition
- You're clearing space quickly without sorting
What happens:
- We remove everything from your property
- We sort items and donate what's usable
- Non-donatable items are recycled when possible
- Unusable items are disposed of properly
- You get a clean space fast
Pricing:
Standard junk removal pricing based on volume. We still prioritize donation for any usable items we encounter.
Note: Not sure which service you need? Call (804) 494-7999. We'll ask about your items' condition and recommend the best option—donation pickup, junk removal, or a combination of both.

How much does donation pickup cost in Richmond?
Donation pickup pricing is the same as our standard junk removal service—based on volume (how much space items take up in our truck). The advantage of choosing donation pickup is that your usable items support local Richmond charities instead of going to a landfill, and you receive official tax-deductible donation receipts for your tax records. Call (804) 494-7999 for your free quote.
What condition do items need to be in for donation?
Items must be clean, functional (for appliances/electronics), and in good, usable condition. Furniture should be structurally sound without major damage, stains, or excessive wear. Clothing should be clean and wearable. If you're unsure, we'll assess during your free quote and let you know what's donatable.
Can you provide tax-deductible donation receipts?
Yes. We provide official donation receipts from receiving charities showing what was donated, the receiving organization, and donation date. Keep these receipts with your tax records for claiming charitable donation deductions.
Which Richmond charities do you work with?
We partner with Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill Central Virginia, CARITAS, Salvation Army, FeedMore, and other established Richmond nonprofits. We match your items with the most appropriate charity based on what they accept and current needs.
What if some items are donatable but others aren't?
No problem. We can handle both donation pickup and junk removal in one visit. We'll pick up everything—donatable items go to charities, and non-donatable items are removed through our standard junk removal service. You get one quote covering everything.
Do you pick up from businesses and offices?
Absolutely. We provide donation pickup for office furniture, equipment, supplies, and other business items. We've handled donations from office closures, retail liquidations, and business relocations throughout Richmond.
Can you pick up donations from estates or deceased relatives' homes?
Yes. We provide compassionate, respectful donation pickup for estate situations. We understand these circumstances are sensitive and work at your family's pace to ensure usable items support local charities rather than going to landfills.
How quickly can you pick up donations?
When our schedule allows, we offer same-day donation pickup. We also provide next-day service and flexible scheduling. Call early in the day for best same-day availability, or schedule in advance for convenient timing.
What items can't be donated?
We cannot donate mattresses (health regulations), broken or non-functional items, heavily damaged or stained furniture, items missing parts or pieces, or items on charity exclusion lists. We'll inform you during your quote what's donatable and what isn't.
Do you donate mattresses?
Unfortunately, Richmond-area charities don't accept mattress donations due to health and safety regulations. We can still remove mattresses through our standard junk removal service and dispose of them properly.
What's the benefit of using your donation service versus taking items myself?
We handle all the logistics—loading, transport, and delivery to the appropriate charity. You don't need a truck, don't need to coordinate with charity hours, and don't need to do the physical labor. Plus, we ensure items go to the right organizations and provide proper documentation for your tax records. Your items definitely get to charities instead of sitting in your garage while you figure out how to get them there.
READY TO DONATE YOUR ITEMS?
