- 1). Give old light fixtures, carpets, appliances, cabinets, dining room sets and other pieces of furniture to the Dallas area ReStore, part of Habitat for Humanity. Call the ReStore at 214-678-2354 to discuss your donation first. Materials get reused in Habitat building projects.
- 2). Take all types of furniture, particularly mattresses, sofas, dressers, chairs, tables and lamps -- the most-needed items -- to the Dallas Furniture Bank. As long as the furniture's in good condition, stain free and pet-odor or smoke-odor free, Dallas Furniture Bank will accept it. They pick up donations that include at least one of their most-needed items. Call them directly at 972-466-0600 to arrange either a pickup or drop-off donation; drop-offs must be scheduled.
- 3). Drop smaller furniture items off at a Dallas-area Goodwill. With 20 Dallas-area locations, there's sure to be a Goodwill near you. They prefer small items like end tables, lamps or chairs that one person can handle safely.
- 4). Donate furniture, lamps and old televisions to the Dallas area AMVETS -- there are two Dallas thrift stores -- to help military veterans. Call them directly at 972-263-1325 to arrange a pickup.
