Click text above to download. Thank you for understanding that there are items we do not take as donations. This allows us to best use our resources and be good stewards of the items and funds that are given to us. There is a time expense and financial cost associated with each item we can not sell. We would much rather all proceeds from our stores go to supporting this mission to help those in need rather than disposal or repair fees. Click the red text to download the complete list.
How to Schedule a Furniture Pick Up

Things to know before making your appointment:
- We only pick up items in our Furniture Pick Up Service Area. Please view the map below for a rough look at the area. It has recently expanded, so please be patient as we navigate those perimeters.
- Upon arrival, TCP staff will properly identify themselves and proceed to pick up items in a responsible way.
- TCP staff will make every effort to arrive for the scheduled pickup on time. Please remain available until your item is picked up.
- In the event of a necessary change or cancellation, TCP will contact the donor via phone to communicate the change and reschedule.
- To cancel or reschedule call 512-943-0711 and begin the process again.
- Items will not be accepted that are visibly damaged or not in working condition. This will be determined at the discretion of TCP drivers. To avoid this, please review the accepted Furniture donation list and be sure items are clean and in good condition for selling.
