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 bought the deal for hauling away items for $249. They did a great job. They called on their way to my home, came right on time, and started to work. What I really appreciated about this service is that they really do take EVERYTHING -- old paint, cleaners, etc. that other junk haulers will not take. No matter what I asked, they would take it - even an old plastic tub in the ground in the my backyard that had smelly water in it. They were hard working, quick, and agreeable. I ended up having more stuff then the deal allowed, which is why the price was higher. I would definitely use them again!

These guys are great. They showed up right on time, hauled everything I need removed, worked quickly and even printed out a value estimate of the items donated so I could get the tax write off. I will definitely use them again!

if you are in the DC area and have a large quantity of stuff to get rid of, don't have time to shop it around doing the who takes what donation dance, and are sick at the idea of chucking stuff with life left in it, you cannot do better than Donation Nation Inc. I have used them several times - they are on time, super good guys, and really efficient. Nor did they give me grief about a zillion flights of stairs, or that it was snowing. They showed up, took a look, and got the job done. I really can't say enough good things.

It turned out okay. They did a little bit more than they had contracted for us with the "Big Deal" charge. They showed up on time. They were direct in asking for what we wanted. They went right to work and pulled everything that they needed that we desired. It appeared to me that they overloaded their truck extremely high in order to get rid of all the stuff we're trying to have removed. They were quick, they were efficient and they were thorough.

They arrived on time and were very professional. They were able to carry my items out of the house although they were heavy and awkward and did not harm the walls or any other furniture.

I love these guys - I used them once through an Angie's list Big Deal and then had them back another time a year later. It's such a great concept - they take everything you want - you just point at stuff (whether it's wrapped, unwrapped, boxed or not) and they load it up in their own crates, take it out to their truck and take it away. They will go up and down the stairs all over the house, they are very kind even when one is less than organized! They take the items back to a sorting place and donate anything of value to several charitable organizations, recycle the rest, and trash the few things that don't fall into the first few categories. It is the most cathartic feeling in the world! Guilt-free! Plus, you get to write off the cost of the service as a tax deduction because of the donations. Highly recommend!!!
Description of Work: I bought a deal for $123 for $245 of junk hauling and removal. They collected furniture, toy, and clothing donations, discarded boxes, and even some difficult-to-deal with stuff (like long flourescent bulbs) and took them for recyling, donations, and trash.

I had misjudged when they were going to come and they ended up coming a day later which was great. The most amazing thing was when they arrived with a pick up tuck I thought it was never going to work. They did a fabulous job and they were very nice to work with and I like the fact that they donated to charities. What stands out was they did a great job and they were easy to work with.

The receptionist was very friendly, helpful and gave an appointment for the next day and specified a time. Two men came on time and removed the items within a short time. They were very courteous, cheerful and friendly. They also sent me a receipt for my donation soon after they finished. I am very satisfied and recommend them highly

Three men came, at the time specified, including the owner. They were uniformed, introduced themselves, and very friendly.They were patient as well, as I cannot get around very quickly. They told me more about their operation, which sounds very ecological.I was impressed with their speed and efficiency, and reasonable pricing. This is my first stab at downsizing, and I would expect to use them again.
Description of Work: They removed a cabinet, bookshelf, three electronic devices, and assorted old cans of paint.

From start to finish, the experience was professional, painless, and friendly. Response to online request for service was prompt and included needed information. Request for additional information was answered promptly, and instructions for pickup were given and later confirmed by phone. The two men who came to do the pickup seemed knowledgeable and competent, not hired help for the day. Moving one of the couches from one level to another proved to be a challenge, but fortunately, it was accomplished by these experienced movers. The pricing may seem a little high for customers used to getting their items picked up for free, but that route can also present many headaches .....and, Donation Nation promises to donate the items to charities and recycle them, and NOT throw them on a landfill.
Description of Work: Took a large couch, treadmill, and Lazy Boy chair and moved a large couch from one level to another.

The Donation Nation truck pulled up and 2 fellas went to work removing the items I'd staged in my garage: a heavy sleeper sofa, stuffed chairs, exercise equipment, miscellaneous household items and a couple bags of clothes were quickly loaded and secured on the truck. Before they left, they sent an email confirmation itemizing my donated items. Couldn't have been easier and the guys were super polite and efficient. Have already recommended their services to some of my friends!

It turned out fine. Scheduling worked out perfectly. I had called them the day of the appointment to push the appointment back an hour and they were very accommodating. They provided a receipt which I liked and they will take almost anything. Communication via cell phone was fine. They let me know they were en route. The only issue was that all the materials needed to be moved within 10 feet of the pickup.
Description of Work: They removed trash, metal such as old lamps, plastic containers, cinder blocks and some old plastic and wood storm door window panes.

They did great! The one guy that came out moved quite a bit of heavy, big stuff by himself and gave me a receipt for taxes. The price was great and he was very careful! Scheduling was very straightforward and prompt. I can’t think of anything they could have possibly done to make it a better experience for me. I'd call him again -- even without the Deal price.
