As you are clearing out your garage, moving, remodeling, spring cleaning, estate sale, etc.? Consider donating your gently used items to a local charity in need. When you hire a Junk Removal Service, ask where they put the items they take away? Do they donate to the local charities?
Our entire team at Junk Buddy is dedicated to helping those in need in our community. Junk Buddy’s team donates to local charities throughout the area as much as possible when we pick up your items. Our founder every year donates his time and one of the trucks in the fall to help a local school for charity pick-ups. We are all about making a positive impact.
Here are just a few of the local charities in the Tampa Bay area:

Habitat for Humanity of Pinellas County ReStore North
Habitat ReStore is a non-profit retail center where new and gently used building materials and home furnishings are sold at discounted prices. Often people want to donate these things for use in our Habitat homes. However, it is not practical, efficient or economical to try to adjust plans to accommodate most donated materials. The ReStore is our solution for turning these donations, from generous and environmentally concerned individuals and businesses, into money to build homes for families.
