Junk Removal & Donation Guidelines

What donation centers will and won't accept, plus disposal resources

Donate Before You Dump

When you book junk removal with Zippy, you can request that your Pro attempt to donate your items before taking them to the landfill. If your items are in decent to good condition, your Pro will stop by a local donation center first.

Whatever the donation center cannot accept will then be properly disposed of at the landfill.
