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.

They were punctual and friendly; however they both had muddy shoes/boots and tracked all over the areas where the furniture was in the house. Also, the truck is actually a pickup, so it is likely that 1/2 truckload will not be enough capacity - in my case, the price doubled from the deal amount because more of the truck was needed.

The team picked up an old refrigerator, a steel office desk, and some other stuff, filled one quarter of a truck, and carted away. They cleaned up and helped donate whatever was still usable. Very good service.

They hauled away a very small amount of debris. It did not seem worth specifically using them. Perhaps if you have concerns about how your debris will be recycled, this is the company, otherwise go with someone else for the money. Half a truck load is just a pick up truck.. Not much trash to haul away

Could nt have gone better. It took them about three hours, and they had to stop to cool off several times, as the attic wasn't cooled. They brought everything down and ensured I looked at it to determine if it should be given away. They then took all the unwanted items and charged me only for the size of the load, not for the huge effort.
Description of Work: They cleaned everything out of our full-length attic on a miserably hot and humid day. They were very thorough and polite.

Friendly and service-oriented, discussed donation in detail prior to order, checked in before appointment date, called before arrival on appointment date. Moved heavy items from house and basement, and pre-positioned items from garage. Easy payment by credit card and gave paper receipt with written inventory. Worthwhile service for fair price with added benefit of donation to help those in need through company's donation programs and resale of donated items at low prices. Fair value of items is tax deductible as well, an added benefit.

These guys are AMAZING!!! Based on their reviews on Angies List, I gave them a call on Monday the 27th of August and was able to set up a pickup time for 8 in the morning on Wednesday the 29th. They called before 8 o'clock and said they were stuck in some heavy traffic, and would be a bit late. It's DC traffic and it's morning rush hour. No worries here, and I was really grateful for the call. They showed up at a little after 8, introduced themselves, and we walked through the job. Based on the amount of material, they provided an estimate of the cost based on how much room they thought the items would take up in the truck. It was a range between $175 and $240. They came in at the low end, and were done within about a half an hour. Love the fact that as a 501c, the items that you donate are tax deductible as well. Will definately call these guys again if we have anything that needs to be hauled away.
Description of Work: Removed a large desk with a hutch, an old coffee tables, an old chair, and a computer monitor from my basement.

I scheduled an appointment on a day and time convenient for me. They called about half an hour before arriving to let me know they were on their way and arrived exactly on time. They very quickly and carefully removed all the items to be hauled away in a pleasant and professional manner and provided me with a receipt for tax purposes for the items that could be redistributed.
Description of Work: I bought a Big Deal for $123.00 for half a truck load of hauling but had much more than that after cleaning out my basement and garage. I needed a full truck load of hauling and gladly paid for the other half a truck load at the regular price and felt like I got a very good deal.

I purchased a big deal from them and their services turned out excellent. I got a prompt response. You can make appointments online and they respond. They kept very good communication. They showed up when they said they were going to show up. They took everything that we needed taken away. We did not have a single problem. They were very professional.

The company's point of contact was very responsive to all my questions. This transaction was a Angie's List Big Deal. Two men showed up on time, were very pleasant and polite. One listed all the items while the other collected them from throughout the house at my direction. Both men carried the items to the truck and at the end prepared a printout for me to keep for my tax records. They were very efficient and professional. I appreciated the service very much and will be using them again. I highly recommend the company and their services.

I purchased the big deal coupon for this service and it was fine. I scheduled the appointment probably 3 or 4 weeks after I purchased the big deal coupon. So they came when I scheduled them to come. I just paid the big deal amount. There would have been extra charges but I refused that. It was a truck pickup and I thought the truck was going to be bigger, but they came in a smaller truck. So that was the only thing, I think that I was a little disappointed with. I don’t know where I got the impression from about the truck being bigger than in what they had actually come in. I think it might have been a picture or something like that. So the volume that they were able to take was less than I had anticipated. In order to fill up the truck, it would have cost me 3 times than what I paid. I got half off of half a truck, but I would have had to pay a price which would have been triple in order to get the full truck. Since the price I paid was half, it was good. If I had to pay the full price, then it would have been expensive.
Description of Work: I used Donation Nation Inc for hauling things away for me. They took away what I had initially intended.

Although there was a miscommunication as to the original appointment time, once Charles and I spoke, the entire process could not have gone more smoothly. He and his assistant quickly loaded up their truck and provided me with an itemized receipt. Both inidividuals were very nice to work with and extremely efficient. Although there is a "cost" associated with the pick-up, getting rid of items that had been sitting in my basement for years and knowing that usable items were not going into a landfill was priceless.. I would definitely recommend this company and would use them again.

We were very satisfied with the work done by Donation Nation. We only paid the initial price of the Big Deal. There were no extra charges.
Description of Work: We're renovating our basement so we purchased an Angie's Big Deal to get some large items hauled away, like three file cabinets, a computer work station, a dresser, some exercise equipment and some smaller items. The deal was for half of a truck and we filled half of the truck.
