ReSupply is on a mission to make giving simple. By picking up gently used furniture, clothing and household items directly from homes in 24-48 hours and delivering them to local nonprofits, ReSupply redirects items that still have significant value away from the curb or landfill, and donates them to local charities, where the resources provided by the sale of those items can help these nonprofits carry out their important missions. These items can turn into hot meals on the table, or emergency relief for a single mother at the end of the month.
To keep this supply chain of donations flowing, ReSupply has built an entire system that creates a win-win for all parties involved. ReSupply provides a convenient service to residents who are looking to clean out items, and a steady stream of donated goods for over 3,000 local charity partners across the United States. We provide white glove removal of items in thousands of ZIP codes across 46 states with next-day pickup.
Often, we are asked whether there is a fee for this service. The answer is yes. Residents pay a fee to cover the cost of the donation pickup and delivery. This allows ReSupply to offer a premium service that offers a truly convenient way for homeowners to donate items, and maintains a free service for charities so that they can maximize support of the mission.
Our fee is part of the system we’ve created, which is all designed to simplify charitable giving, and provide value for charities. In this article, we’ll break down the cost behind donating items, the convenience provided by ReSupply’s service, and why it’s so important to support charities through this process.
Donation Pickup vs. Junk Hauler
Residents might be cleaning out an attic or a garage. They may have old furniture taking up space that needs to move out, but they don’t have the means to clean them out and complete the transport themselves. In these situations, residents have a number of options. Before starting ReSupply, our founders saw how items would be taken to the curb, where they would then be transported to landfill, effectively ending their life and usefulness, while increasing waste. In other situations, residents contact a junk hauler. While these services will come to residents, they often charge a premium, and items end up in landfill. At the same time, many charities with retail stores operate pickup services, but often lack the resources to be able to offer comprehensive removal and a high volume of pickup. Seeking to marry the professional and the altruistic, our founders started ReSupply to tackle all sides of this challenge, providing residents with a quality service, while extending the value of items to support local communities.
Since you’re along for the ride with us, we’ll let you in on a little secret. Whether an item is hauled away or donated, the truth is that there is always a cost to removal of items. The question is which party is bearing that cost – the donor or the recipient. At ReSupply, we aim to provide a high quality service for the donor that includes priority pickup and professional removal. At the same time, we aim to defray costs for the recipients, which are local charities doing good work in the community, and ultimately the people they serve.
We’ve built ReSupply so that residents choose our service for the quality and convenience of pickup, and because it offers a way to give back.
Here’s a look at all that’s behind ReSupply’s fee, and the benefits for residents:
ReSupply Provides Priority Pickup in 24-48 Hours.
When residents are ready to have items cleaned out, ReSupply can come right away, and clean them out. We’ve seen residents that have items all the way up in the attic, or in the basement. They had a garage filled with items, and they’ve found it difficult to try to get those physical goods to charity themselves, and there was no easy way to do that in as little as 24 hours. They may not know if a charity will accept an item.
At ReSupply, we make it simple to schedule a donation pickup by visiting our website, or calling 7654-DONATE. Once a donation is scheduled, we will pick items up in 24-48 hours. Residents don’t have to do anything special to prepare, because we will take care of the rest.
ReSupply Removes Any Item, From Anywhere in the Home.
Residents contact a service because they are finding it difficult to move and transport an item themselves. At ReSupply, we employ licensed and insured movers who transport items every day, and we take care of the entire clean-out.
ReSupply will remove all items from anywhere in the home. There are no questions about whether an item is accepted. We go up and down staircases, from the basement to the attic. We clean out all items, whether that is an entire room or difficult-to-move piece of furniture. We can even take items apart, when it’s necessary. Whatever it takes, we will remove the item. Plus, ReSupply picks up all items at once, and transports them away on the same day.
ReSupply Delivers Items Directly to Charities.
Once an item is loaded onto a truck, the donation is only half-complete. Next, items must be driven to charity. Once they arrive, a charity must determine whether the item will be accepted, and the item must be unloaded.
ReSupply completes this entire part of the process. Our team of professional movers transports items to our local charity partners, who are then able to select items that will help them offer quality merchandise that can be purchased by families. If there are items that the charity won’t accept, we will transport them to additional charities for donation, and recycle the rest.
ReSupply Covers the Cost of Donation Pickup for Charities.
Donation removal and pickup always has a cost. Some charities take on this cost by offering a pickup service. However, these services often operate with limited resources and are unable to complete difficult pickups due to a lack of access to professional movers. At ReSupply, we offer a way for charities to increase the number of goods coming in, and reduce the burden on their small staff.
The fee that is paid by residents for the service makes the cost of donation pickups free to charities. That means the charities have more resources to put toward their communities. It frees up more funds to provide a roof over a family’s head, or job training services. By making donation services free to charities, residents are helping their community.
