Donation Nation Inc

Hauling, Garbage Collection, Moving Companies,

About us

Donation Nation is more than a hauling company. We are a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization. Our mission is to reduce landfill waste and supply a variety of tangible and economic resources to benefit the growth of the Non-Profit sector. Since 2010, Donation Nation has served over 2,700 customers by removing and redistributing their unwanted items. We have also furnished and improved the living space of over 5,000 homes and diverted over a million pounds of recyclable materials from landfills. Now you can remove, recycle and redistribute any and all of your unwanted items with the click of a button! Donation Nation is fully insured and offers several services to its customers at the customer’s location. Our services include: House Cleanouts, Business Cleanouts, Donation Pickup, Redistribution, Junk Removal, Furniture Removal, Appliance Removal, Bulk Metal Recycling, and Construction Waste Removal. Our Mission, our goal is to be THEE household redistribution center of Montgomery County. A place in which another non-profit, another community organizer, or another social worker can sign up for our services, and within days or weeks (not months) provide household items to a family or individual in need. Time between a family moving from a shelter to a home but is put on a backlog or wait list of months for services like ours, is not good enough. That waiting period is a moment of instability, stress and uncertainty. A healthy environment at home enriches family communication, gives stability and reduces stress within the dynamics of a family. No, we do not build homes, provide economical housing or counseling. However, with our services, we keep household items away from the landfill, and redistribute it to those seeking social services within our community. Donation Nation is a dynamic business that helps the environment, and contributes to the stability of our local non-profit sector.

I wanted to use this company. Their website says they give free estimates. I called and no one picked up. Voice mail greeting said to leave them a message, but their mailbox was full and I couldn't. So I tried then to reach them through Angie's List but they never replied. Who knows, they may be good if you can ever connect with them. I'm wondering if the free estimate is that (like You've Got Junk), they agree to show up at your house and tell you what the price will be based on the amount of space it takes in their truck, and then you can either take it or leave it? But I don't know. My D rating is because of the inability to communicate with them.

Perfectly! The truck arrived with three men who lifted and moved some very heavy, bulky items--efficiently and, dare I say, happily. Nothing seemed too arduous, too difficult to get to. (Soooo nice to get rid of all the gallon paint-cans and other hard-to-dispose-of products!) And their calculation of costs and value was ideal for tax-purposes.

Donation Nation was great! They arrived early and took care of everything. The two representatives from Donation Nation were professional and efficient. I paid about $500.00 for their services as my items took up close to half of their truck space. I thought the charge was reasonable and I would definitely use their services again.

Every time we use Donation Nation it's a great experience. They are professional, on time and very courteous. This company recycles, donates or disposes of non reusable material properly; such as old paint, household chemicals, old refrigerators (Freon) etc... I will use them again in the future if needed. I highly recommend this company.

Exceptionally well. The company picked up everything I had marked. Removed it from the house and provided a tax deduction. They were extremely efficient and removed furniture I was unable to move out of the house. We donated TVs, sofas, patio furniture, grills, tables and associated items. Total weight was several thousand lbs and it filled over half the truck. I would use them again anytime.

I had called and talked with an employee to ask about Donation Nation Inc moving a piano from my home and asking about the cost and what would ultimately happens to the piano. She gave an estimate of $142 which would be tax deductible which I thought was great. When trying to schedule a time I was told that they did not do weekends which I understood. So, I got online and made a reservation for them to get the piano on a Friday that I would be off from work which was April 8, 2016. That was a 3 week from the date I made the reservation. On Friday April 8th I got a call that morning they would be to my house at the scheduled time. Then about 30 minutes to an hour before the schedule time I got a call from the driver that the truck was having troubles and had stopped on the side of the road and he would let me know if they could make it that day. The driver called me back and indicated that I needed to reschedule which I told them I understood and rescheduled. I rescheduled for the following Thursday at 6 PM. On Thursday the rescheduled date I was called and asked about the size of the piano and where it was located. I told the driver that it was in the basement and that it would need to go up stairs to get removed. He indicated that he would need an additional person to move it because of the stairs and he would need to ask his supervisor. When he called back I was told that I needed to reschedule for another day so they could have 3 people. I could not believe that I would need to reschedule for another day as now this had been scheduled for more than a month. I called the owner of the company and expressed how unhappy I was and that I did not want to reschedule again and I made sure he knew that I was going to give a bad review. He was pretty upset with me and told me never to call this company again. Which I am sure I will honor, So, to summarize I was OK with needing to schedule 3 weeks from the date I called. I thought I was understanding when his truck broke down and needed to reschedule but I do have a concern for not assigning enough resources to do the job that had been on the books for more than a month and then offering me to reschedule on another work day during my work hours. Reading the other reviews it seems like they were satisfied with the services Donation Nation Inc. provided but I was truly not happy with the service.

The two men were on time and they did a great job. They were able to remove the rugs and bed frame. In addition they placed the mattress and box where I wanted once the bed frame and rugs were taken out. The service was great!
Description of Work: First, I purchased a deal in 2013 but did not use it. When I contacted Donation Nation in January they said they would still honor the discount. I was very pleased with this accommodation. I had much more than the load size covered by the deal and I also needed help to move furniture. This included tearing down a large heavy 4 poster bed, moving the mattress and box. In addition, I was discarding 2 room size rugs and padding.

They called to let me know they were on their way and the time they would arrive. They arrived on time and were in and out of my home in great time. I had large chairs and a very heavy coffee table and also they moved a wooden futon bed plus the mattress out of my home. Yes....they charge but was it ever worth it ! ! They moved items I could never have moved on my own even with the help of friends. The items moved were located on the first floor and also in the basement. I would use this company again without a doubt.

Perfect !!! They called a couple of hours before my scheduled appointment and said that they could come an hour earlier if that was ok with me which it was. Three guys showed up right on time. They were very polite and friendly. They took a lot of care in removing my items. I'm really pleased with the way everything went and I would use them again without question.

Well Ryan callled and said that he was gonna be an hour early. That was ok with me. I had set up the appointment for 4pm!! That was a positive . Ryan and his colleague came and they performed a magnificent feat in getting all of the cases of books and other articles on their truck.

Donation Nation is AWESOME! I cannot recommend these guys enough. Their online scheduler is easy, and I got calls to confirm my appointment within 24 hours. The truck arrived on time (if not early), and the guys were professional, polite, and speedy. It's fantastic knowing that the stuff they hauled away will not go straight into a landfill, and their rates are very competitive. On top of that, they're a 501c.3, so you get a tax credit for your "donation", including a market value estimate for the items they haul away. Seriously, if you have old junk you've been meaning to donate or throw out, call Donation Nation. Be sure to ask about the Angie's List discount, too.
Description of Work: Donation Nation came and picked up 2 loads of junk that had been left at our new house (or generated from our renovations). Both loads were about 30% of the truck (they do pricing by the percentage).

There were a lot of items that weren't going to the new house. I chose Donation Nation to help with giving these items a new home, because they were interested in items that Goodwill and the Salvation Army would not take, such as mattresses and box springs. And, they actually moved the items out of the house, which other donation agencies will not. They arrived on time, were very pleasant to work with, took more items than I thought they would, and provided an itemized list with value estimates for my tax return. It was a thoroughly pleasant experience, and I highly recommend their service.
