They were super nice guys. Very professional and moved our heavy pinball machine down two flights of stairs efficiently, and carefully. Would request them again next time I need to move something. - Nicole

Theses two guys were polite professional and got the job done (which was starting to look impossible.) I was really concerned when I got home and started thinking about if it would fit through the doors and up the stairs. They were as careful as could be but one corner of the couch got a little bit dirty BUT I don’t hold them responsible because I was expecting much worse and I was able to get it cleaned up. I tried making things as easy as possible for them by taking the doors off and I had to remove the light fixture at the top of the stairs in order for it to fit through the doorway to the apartment. I gave them both a cash tip and sent them on their merry way! - Walter

They did great, however, the van was not big enough for my tv. Also they did not have blankets, or wrap. Also, I had to do a lot of the lifting, had to take my own door off the hinges, and help them get the couch down the stairs. Things definitely got a little banged up. My white couch is toast. I gave them a cash tip. Friendly guys, wish they came with blankets or moving supplies. - Erin

These guys were awesome. I got a heavy electric fireplace stuck halfway up my stairs. These guys got it into my dining room, easy peasy. While they were working, my 5-year-old autistic daughter was all in their space, trying to give hugs, trying to help, and asking 100 questions. They responded with patience. They were friendly and were simply wonderful. If that wasn't enough, they asked my son if he needed help figuring out how to work it and offered to get it plugged in and turned on. These guys are wonderful. - Melissa

Does the Salvation Army pick up donations in Boston? It depends on your ZIP code
Put your ZIP into the Salvation Army's scheduler and you may be told pickup isn't available in your area, with a list of drop-off locations offered instead. That happens even inside metros where they run plenty of stores, because collection is arranged ZIP by ZIP rather than offered everywhere. Where a truck does cover you it's free, though the next open slot isn't yours to choose. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service in Boston that collects donations from your door and delivers them to the Salvation Army you choose, for the addresses a charity truck doesn't reach and the days you can't wait for one.
Will they take it? There's no national list
The Salvation Army names clothing, furniture, household goods and appliances among its commonly donated items, but publishes no single nationwide list of what's accepted and what isn't. Because collection and drop-off are run locally, the items they take change with whatever center you're donating to. Call your local one before you plan on it, because their crew can still decline something at the door if it turns up damaged or below their standards, and what one center takes doesn't mean another will.
Heavy furniture is where a donation pickup usually stalls
This is the question people actually search: will they take the heavy thing? A charity crew works to its own limits on weight, stairs and condition, and a sleeper sofa on a third floor is where a free pickup most often turns into a no. Lugg movers carry it out, up stairs, into elevators and down long hallways, and you choose the truck for the load rather than hoping the one that shows up is big enough.
When the answer is no, or the date is wrong
One booking holds up to five stops, so the clothes and housewares can reach the Salvation Army while the piece they declined goes on to a charity that takes it, or to a recycling or disposal site. Booking on demand puts movers on the way within the hour, same-day slots run in one-hour blocks, and you can schedule up to 60 days out. Plan the stops when you book and they're in the estimate you see before you commit.
What you'll see before you book
Enter your address and the Salvation Army's address and the estimate appears before you commit to anything. There are no hourly minimums, so a forty-minute donation run is billed as forty minutes, not rounded up to a two-hour block. Small items must be bagged or boxed before pickup.
