I can’t recommend TJ and Lansana enough! They helped me with a last minute request and went above and beyond to accommodate me. They expertly moved an extremely heavy piece of furniture-easily over 300 lbs- up a flight of stairs, all while navigating snowy conditions. The crew was incredibly careful and professional throughout the entire process. I was truly impressed and left speechless by their dedication and skills. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again! - Ashley

I purchased two wrought iron tables from a seller on Facebook Marketplace. Ramiro and John provided professional service They arrived timely to the pickup location; loaded the tables into the van; and patiently waited with me while I waited for my Uber driver to pick me up and transport me to my apartment. Upon arrival of my Uber, Ramiro and John then followed my Uber car from the pickup location to my apartment, where they unloaded the two tables, delivered the tables to my apartment, and placed both tables in my apartment where I requested. This was of tremendous help to me as the tables are very heavy. - Tyra

Who picks up furniture donations in Chicago?
Some charities do, some of the time. Whether a free charity truck reaches you comes down to your ZIP code, how far out their next slot sits and whether they'll take the piece at all, and the answer changes from one organization to the next. A booking of your own removes all three variables. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service in Chicago that collects donations from your door and delivers them to any charity you choose, for the loads a car won't hold and the days a charity truck can't come.
What a free charity pickup asks in return
Free is the right price when the timing happens to work. When it doesn't, the cost shows up elsewhere: a slot weeks out, a route that skips your address, a list of items they can't accept, and a crew that can still decline something at the door if it turns up damaged. Every organization sets its own rules, so call the one you're donating to before you plan around it, because what one takes doesn't mean another will.
One load, several charities
This is the part a single charity's truck can't do. Bags of clothes, boxes of housewares and the armchair nobody wants to carry down can all go in one booking, and one booking holds up to five stops. So the clothes reach one place, the furniture reaches another, and anything nobody accepts goes on to a recycling or disposal site instead of back into your hallway. Plan the stops when you book and they're in the estimate you see before you commit.
Any charity, including the small local one
Lugg delivers to Goodwill, the Salvation Army, Savers, Habitat for Humanity ReStore and the Furniture Bank Network, and equally to the thrift shop two streets over, a shelter, a church or a school drive. You give the address, so the choice of who receives it stays yours rather than being set by whoever happens to run a collection route near you.
What you'll see before you book
Enter your address and the charity's address and the estimate appears before you commit to anything. There are no hourly minimums, so a half-hour donation run costs half an hour of work rather than the two-to-four-hour block a moving company would quote for the same trip. You choose the truck to match the load, and small items should be bagged or boxed before pickup.
