Donation & Reuse Services in Contra Costa County

Keeping Usable Items Out of the Landfill

At Ditch It Junk Removal, we believe that not everything needs to end up in a landfill. Whenever possible, we make every effort to donate, recycle, repurpose, and reuse items that still have life left in them. Our goal is simple: leave every property better than we found it while reducing waste and supporting our local community.

As a locally owned and operated junk removal company serving Martinez, Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette, Pittsburg, Antioch, San Francisco, and surrounding Contra Costa County communities, we are committed to responsible disposal practices and landfill diversion whenever possible.

What Items Can Be Donated?

Many items that customers no longer need can still be useful to others. When items are clean, safe, and in good condition, we look for opportunities to donate them before considering disposal.

Common donated items include:

  • Gently used furniture

  • Sofas and sectionals

  • Dining room tables and chairs

  • Dressers and bedroom furniture

  • Office furniture

  • Bookshelves

  • Home décor

  • Kitchenware

  • Housewares

  • Small appliances

  • Tools and hardware

  • Building materials

  • Cabinets

  • Doors and windows

  • Exercise equipment

  • Clothing and household goods

Please note that donation centers ultimately determine what they can accept based on condition, inventory, and current needs.

Partnering with Local Donation Organizations

We proudly work with and support organizations that help put reusable items back into our community.

Habitat for Humanity ReStore

Habitat for Humanity ReStore accepts many home improvement materials, furniture, appliances, cabinets, lighting fixtures, doors, windows, flooring, and other building materials. Donations help support affordable housing programs while keeping usable materials out of local landfills.

Salvation Army

The Salvation Army accepts many household items, furniture, clothing, and other reusable goods. Donations help fund programs that support individuals and families throughout our communities.

Resupply Direct Donation Pickups
