Donate Furniture and Household Items

Safetynet obtains good quality used furniture and distributes free of charge to those in need.  A volunteer from Safetynet works with the recipient to ensure it meets their needs and schedule a pickup time.  Furniture can also be dropped at Safetynet by arrangement only. Furniture we accept includes

• couches, tables (dining, coffee, bedside), dining chair SETS (not individual), drawers, shelves (assembled)
• strollers, baby items (not cribs or car seats)
• kitchen items including plates, cutlery, pots and pans, small electric appliances such as blender, toaster, microwave.
• Lamps in good condition
• bicycles in any shape, helmets and locks welcome too
• office chairs in excellent condition

Furniture can be dropped off during weekday mornings.  In fact this is preferred because it lets our furniture delivery people spend more time delivering.  If you will need help unloading it please phone ahead at (905) 845-7233 to ensure someone will be there.

To arrange for a pickup, rather than phone us please email [email protected] with the following information:

Name, phone, address of the pickup, what days during the week you can be available, any time constraints (date it will be available, date it must be out), and where it's not clearly excellent quality examples of the above accepted items, pictures to let us decide if it's acceptable.  We will contact you to either arrange a visit or the pickup.

We give our furniture away.  In order to help offset the cost we request a donation of $50 for pickups within Oakville or Burlington, $75 in Mississauga, Milton.  We prefer the items are ready and outside the facility, or at least very easily accessible on the same floor as the entrance. This service  does not include taking apart or otherwise preparing items - they must be empty and ready to transport - and does not include stairs, or tight spaces for any larger items.  If required, extra time is available for an extra $50 per half hour after the first half hour.

We happily pick up clothing and kitchen items during the furniture pickup.  All cloth items in any condition are useful for us.

If you have to clear out waste as well as good furniture, it is possible to get this done too, either by us or an service that will relay good items to us.  Please email [email protected] with a description.

Higher value items such as couches, table and chairs, microwave, drawers in excellent condition will be provided with a donation in kind receipt upon request.  We also provide a donation certificate for any cash donations.
