Mauro & Leonardo were an excellent team to work with because they were thoughtful, efficient, and friendly. The two work extremely well together which made our large donations pick up/drop off easy, calm, and stress-free! - Susan

Super helpful and flexible when the first location wouldn’t accept the item for donation. Worked with me to find a solution and went the extra mile, literally, to finish the job. - Leslie

Brandon did an amazing and fast job with my storage loads and donation drop off. Enthusiastic, professional, efficient! A++ - Adi

Guadalupe worked smartly and efficiently. After seeing my load for donation he offered a second stop at the dump if my donation wasn't accepted. This saved me time and effort. - Maureen

The movers were great. Your website however was misguiding. I wanted my one item donated or thrown away. I live out of state and am not familiar with the where to donate or discard items. Your website brought up a number of sites for donations and I picked the one closest to the moving site to reduce cost. The movers called me from the address that I had gotten from your website and there was a different business there. He had to do his own research to find an alternative. Needless to say, I had to add time and distance to my original bill. This is the second issue I have had with the company website. If only there were someone to talk to. The movers both times have been great. - Norah

Juan and Maylon were great! They carried some very heavy furniture and they did a good job communicating what was going on at the donation site. They were a huge help today! - Holly

I was wowed by Eder & Marcos’s efficiency, kindness, and professionalism from start to finish. They went above and beyond a couple of times — one was by calling me and offering their advice when my recipient was unable to take a large donated item. They fixed the problem without me having to update the delivery location on my own. The whole experience was a big relief after a previously difficult moving experience. I’d certainly trust Eder & Marcos to handle a future move. - Carmen

These guys were great at loading and making space for all do the items I had to donate. Lugg is the best! - Karyn

They arrived on time and were very helpful and friendly. They even offered to help another person here who needed to donate other items! Job well done!! I’m a property manager so I hope that Lugg can get more business from here, now that residents see how easy it is to use! - Laura

Very patient and pleasant while trying to figure out where to donate item not accepted at first location. - Felicia

They came on time and were both friendly. The location I chose for a furniture donation couldn’t take the item and they contacted me asap. They were kind enough to continue to the second location for drop off! - Jane

Jillian was a wiz when wrapping my furniture for transport. He also solved a critical problem when the donation center rejected my donation. I greatly appreciated his solution. He was professional and nice. Thanks Julian! - Karmen

Alejandro was such a kind and understanding lugger and I highly recommend him. I had him take things to a donation place for me, and he did it with a huge smile and worked with me when some of the things weren’t accepted. Just went above and beyond. - Vanessa

I had a large piece of furniture that I needed out of the house and wanted to donate. The place that normally takes donations was closed that day so they offered to take it to a couple other places before resigning it to the dump. Super helpful and considerate - Kelly

Thanks so much for your help! They were timely and helped us to get our furniture over to the donation center smoothly - Mandy

I had what I thought was a simple situation for furniture donation drop off at Habitat for Humanity. Turns out they don’t accept bed frame (high quality wood) by itself. Diego was helpful in navigating the situation. - Alice

These guys are first rate. They were very cautious moving the furniture in our home. They even figured out how to more easily move our sofa which we donated . . . Ingenious!!! They are highly recommended. - ED

There was trash mixed in with the donation items. Driver called and we worked out a solution that was beneficial to everyone. - Karyn

Really helpful in a pinch! I appreciate all the support they provided in trouble shooting when the donation location was closed. - Megan

The Goodwill that they originally went to was closed for donations, they communicated with me the entire time and went to another that was still open in another town. Wonderful guys!! - Carly

Javier and Francisco were very professional, friendly and strong! I appreciate there help moving a huge stove and getting it to a local donation center. I will absolutely use LUGG in the future! - Lilly

On time, very nice, did the job efficiently, even (correctly) suggested that one of my donation items wouldn't be accepted. - Arnold

Prompt, polite and efficient. They were very accommodating with the donation recipient’s requirements. - Melinda

Enter your addresses to see your prices and schedule your move
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 platform in Oakland where you book local movers to collect donations from your door and deliver them to any charity you choose, for the loads a car won't hold and the days a charity truck can't come.
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.
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.
Lugg movers deliver 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.
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.
Lugg can deliver most donation items, including furniture, appliances, clothing, and household goods, as long as they're in good, reusable condition suitable for donation.
Tip: Before booking your Lugg, double-check your local charity donation centers acceptance policy and drop-off hours in Oakland.
Absolutely, Lugg can drop off your donations at any local charity, nonprofit, thrift store, or community donation center in Oakland, not just major organizations like Goodwill, Salvation Army, or Habitat for Humanity.
Yes, Lugg can load and deliver several donation items or boxes at once, as long as everything fits safely in the truck. For multi-stop donation runs, you can add up to 5 stops per Lugg when booking.
Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, or 250 lbs per item on any vehicle that comes with two Luggers: Pickup, Van, XL, Box or Box+. Anything heavier needs more Luggers on the job, so book a second Lugg for the same time window. There's no limit on how many items you move, and size comes down to which vehicle you choose.
Yes, smaller items like clothing, linens, or kitchenware should be packed in sturdy boxes or bags for transport. Having your items packed and ready helps your movers complete your donation pickup faster and keeps smaller items secure during transport. Your Luggers can wrap and protect furniture and large items for safe transport.
Not every donation center accepts all items, we always recommend calling ahead of time and confirming they are able to take your items. If the selected charity donation center cannot accept your items, your Luggers will contact you to coordinate another destination or return option. Standard rates apply for rerouting or additional stops.
Tip: Donation centers often reach capacity later in the day. To avoid delays or rejections, we recommend booking a morning arrival window and calling ahead to confirm that your location is still accepting donations.
Items may be declined if they're broken, stained, torn, missing parts, or unsafe. Most donation centers also reject old TVs, mattresses, or large appliances due to health or recycling restrictions.
To prevent your item(s) from being rejected, we recommend calling ahead to your charity donation drop-off center in Oakland to ensure that the location accepts your items.
Yes, for estate cleanouts, office donations, or community drives in Oakland, you can book as many Luggs as needed for pickup and delivery to your chosen charity donation location. Luggers will ensure items are delivered to your selected donation partners safely and efficiently. For multi-stop donation runs, you can add up to 5 stops per Lugg.
Yes, Lugg can haul away most items that charities or donation centers won't accept to a local recycling or disposal center in Oakland. You can also combine a donation drop-off with a haul-away or disposal stop in one Lugg.
Tip: Not every recycling or disposal facility accepts all items, so we recommend calling ahead to confirm their hours, accepted items, and any potential fees.
Upon request and when available, Luggers can send you a photo confirmation as proof of donation. For official tax receipts, you'll need to get documentation directly from the charity donation center or charity at drop-off.
Yes, with Lugg you can book on-demand, same-day, and next-day charity donation pickups. Movers and a truck can arrive within the hour, or you can schedule up to 60 days in advance for a time that works best for you.
Pick the truck that fits what you're moving. Almost every option is a two-Lugger booking, so crew size isn't usually the decision — the Lugg Lite is the exception.
Tip: Pickup trucks carry a tarp for light rain, but book an enclosed truck — Van, XL, Box or Box+ — if heavier rain is forecast. When in doubt, size up.
Not all box trucks have a lift gate. If your charity donation pickup needs one, say so in the 'What are you moving?' field when booking and Lugg will do its best to accommodate.
We recommend that you or someone 18 years or older be present to provide access and confirm which items to take. However, you can also arrange a contactless donation pickup if items are placed safely outside or in an accessible area, just include those details in your Lugg booking.
Yes, you'll need to pack before your crew arrives, because Lugg doesn't provide packing services or supplies. Box or bag any small, loose or fragile items, including kitchenware, electronics accessories, office supplies and anything that could shift in transit.
Your Luggers bring moving supplies and equipment to protect furniture and larger pieces, but having your things packed ahead of time keeps your donation pickup quick, organized and damage-free.
Every Lugg charity donation pickup in Oakland includes professional moving equipment, straps, dollies, moving blankets, and stretch wrap to protect your items and your space, plus a basic toolkit for light disassembly or reassembly. Pickup trucks also come equipped with a tarp for weather protection. Your Luggers will wrap fragile or bulky pieces for safe transport, take care to avoid damage to floors, walls, and elevators, and know how to get heavy furniture, appliances, and other large items through tight spaces, stairs, and doorways. This helps ensure a smooth, efficient charity donation pickup from start to finish. We do not provide moving boxes or mattress covers. Please have these items ready if needed.
