Why We Donate Before We Dump

Not everything that ends up in our truck is actually junk. A good portion of what we haul — dressers, working appliances, kids' furniture, tools, even boxes of household goods — is still perfectly usable, and Sacramento has no shortage of local shelters and charities that can put it to good use.

Before any load heads to the dump, our crew sets aside anything in good condition. It doesn't cost you anything extra, and it means fewer usable items end up buried in a landfill just because they didn't fit somewhere anymore.

It's a simple habit, but it adds up. A dresser that still works, a couch with some life left in it, a box of kitchenware — those are things a local family or shelter can actually use right now, instead of taking up space in a landfill for the next few hundred years.

If you have specific items you'd like to see donated somewhere in particular, just mention it when you book — we're always glad to accommodate, and it's one more way we try to keep this business feeling like part of the neighborhood, not just a truck that shows up and leaves.
