Savers donation pickup in Cheshire, straight to the donation center
Savers doesn't collect donations from your home. You bring everything to one of their Community Donation Centers instead, which is fine until what you're donating won't fit in your car. Book Lugg and movers load your clothes, housewares, books and furniture and drop it all at the Savers nearest you, the same day, carrying the boxes out for you. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service in Cheshire that collects donations from your door and delivers them to the Savers donation center you choose, for loads too big or too heavy to drive over yourself.
What Savers takes, and what it turns away
Savers publishes its own list, and the short version is that soft goods and household items are welcome while anything damaged or regulated isn't.
| Savers accepts | Savers doesn't accept |
|---|
| Clothing & shoes | Mattresses |
| Housewares | TV & computer monitors |
| Books & media | Appliances (large) |
| Small furniture | Damaged furniture |
| Bed & bath | Infant products |
| Electronics | Construction materials |
| Small appliances | Automobile parts |
| Exercise & sporting goods | Flammable & hazardous materials |
| Games & toys | Food, swimming pools, weapons |
| Backpacks & purses | Money |
That's Savers' national list, and it isn't a guarantee. Attendants can decline anything that turns up damaged or below their standards, and individual donation centers set their own rules on top of the national ones. If a particular piece matters, call your local center to confirm they'll take it before you book.
The things Savers won't take are the things that need a truck
Look at that second column: mattresses, televisions, large appliances, damaged furniture. Those are exactly the items you can't fit in a sedan, so being turned away at the door costs you the whole afternoon. One booking holds up to five stops, so Lugg can leave the clothes and housewares at Savers and carry the mattress on to a charity that takes them, or to a recycling or disposal site. Plan both stops when you book and they're in the estimate you see before you commit.
Go while the donation center is open
Savers asks that donations arrive during opening hours, and leaving things outside a closed center is actually illegal in most places. Their own advice is to come on a weekday or in the morning, when the lines are shortest. Booking on demand puts movers on the way within the hour, or you can pick a one-hour block, so the drop-off lands while someone's there to take it. Bag or box the small things first, which is what Savers asks for too.
What you'll see before you book
Enter your address and your Savers address and the estimate appears before you commit to anything. There are no hourly minimums, so a ten-minute drop is billed as ten minutes rather than rounded up to a two-hour block. The truck you pick is the one that suits the load.
