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.

The guys were great. Very professional. Although traffic delayed them by a nominal amount of time, they kept me apprised throughout their trip. They were finished in half an hour.
Description of Work: They hauled away a living room set with tables as well as a complete bedroom, and three bookcases. They were so efficient and made everything fit. I was so pleased with the quality of their work that I would without any hesitation recommend them and use them again!

These guys were great - very professional and also very fast/efficient at the work. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Donation Nation is a fantastic service that comes and picks up all your old unwanted stuff and donates it to people to who need it (they will also take things that are no longer usable to the landfill). They emptied out years worth of junk that had accumulated in my basement in under an hour.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was quite good. They called ahead. They were very polite, very organized, and were considerate about tracking dirt in the house. We were quite pleased with them.

The men were a little late to arrive, but explained the reason and were apologetic. They were young, strong, professional and efficient. There was only one item that required both of them to carry. Each was able to carry most items, even the bulky ones,by himself. They were that strong!!!!! I had a little more than the specified amount and they did not charge me extra. I will certainly use them again and often!!!!
Description of Work: They removed items from the home of my recently deceased brother, made an estimate of the value and emailed me a receipt to me before they left.

They called to see if they could come earlier than scheduled but I didn't get the message until later. They arrived on time, removed everything that we needed moved, and did so expeditiously. They completed the paper work, left me a copy. Everything went very smoothly.

(see above), plus, they managed to fit so much into the truck bed I was able to gather up additional junk and really clear out an awful spot in my backyard. Like losing 10 pounds instantly, for my peace of mind. Yay!!
Description of Work: They were GREAT. They hauled up (my basement stairs) the heavy stuff, and got dirty under my deck, and said, "We'll take anything else you want to get rid of, if you have more ..." so I could make the most of my dollar. I did!

It went great! I was contacted promptly in response to my phone call. We quickly agreed on a date and they showed up this afternoon just as agreed. They quickly moved out my furniture, presented me with a bill and accepted my coupon. I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided. The price was reasonable (plus I had a coupon!) and I got exactly what I was looking for in the time frame I had in mind.
Description of Work: I called them to pick up a sofa and loveseat from my living room. I read about them in my Angie's List magazine and saw there was a $25 coupon.

Charles was very accomodating. His assistant was unable to come but he was willing to come to my home alone even though it was later than he had expected. He did all the hauling himself which was not very easy and was very easy to work with. He took all of my items with no problem and hauled it all out of my basement and into his truck. He gave me an itemized receipt for my donation for tax purposes. Would use them again in a heart beat.

From the first contact to the job completion, Charles and his crew were awesome! They were helpful, friendly and such a pleasure to work with. The team arrived early Saturday morning and worked hard all day to pack up the house. Our parents had 60+ years of accumulated "treasures" in their home. Charles and his crew worked swiftly to pack up the items and get them to the right place - recycling what can be recycled, redistributing what can be redistributed, and hopefully taking as little as possible to the landfill. Several times during the day the team would uncover an item we had missed in our search. Charles found my father-in-law's WWII Navy Medals from his 30 year Naval career. We had been looking for them, but had not found them. The crew also uncovered old photos and other irreplaceable items that might have otherwise been lost forever. What a great business model and a great group of people... I highly recommend!

Charles is awesome. We used another hauling service a few times who would only take certain things and charged us an additional $120 to move a desk a few feet. Not so with Donation Nation, they will take away everything and even climbed up some narrow creaky attic stairs to remove all of that stuff. Their price (even without the Big Deal coupon) is better than the "other" company. Love these guys!
Description of Work: Hauled away 50 years' worth of accumulated stuff from my dad's house. Donated things that are donatable, threw away remainder. They even give an itemized receipt with suggested fair values!

I purchased a big deal for Donation Nation after researching other hauling companies on Angie's list. Not only was the price an incentive, but setting up an appointment was easy, phone calls were returned promptly, and all questions were answered completely and courteously. On appointment day, two workers hauled away two small truckloads of donated furniture and other household items along with an old refrigerator and miscellaneous debris. The workers arrived on time on a very rainy day and worked non-stop until they picked up all materials--within a few hours and swept up afterwards. They were neat, polite, and professional. When the refrigerator didn't fit through the inside basement door, they carefully removed and replaced the door molding. After all items were loaded I received a printed receipt listing donated items deductible for income tax purposes. I will surely use Donation Nation again.

Great experience start to finish. Service provider responded almost immediately after purchase. One is able to go to their website to easily schedule a time. I got a phone call after I did that to confirm the appointment time and review the household items to be picked for donation. The pick up happened on time - the workers were professional, polite and very helpful. They loaded the donated goods and provided a tax receipt. I would recommend this company and would use them again.

I scheduled my pickup appointment online and received an email confirmation. The day of my appointment, the company called me a few hours prior to let me know they were coming as scheduled and then they arrived exactly on time. The two employees were very professional and efficient. I would use them again.

They were really professional. Came in and looked at what we wanted removed. Had no issues with anything we needed to get rid of. We added to the original deal because we had a lot of stuff to remove. Their prices seemed quite fair. We would call them back any time we needed to have large items removed from the house.
