Exército de Salvação: retirada de doações
They come to you. Clothes, furniture in good condition, household goods, toys, books, computer equipment and appliances, collected from your address by appointment.
Right for you if
- It still works, and getting it down the stairs is the problem.
- It has to cost nothing.
- You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.
- You would rather it was used again than buried.
Look elsewhere if
- It is one small thing you could drop off yourself.
- You need it gone today.
- It is broken, dirty or missing parts.

Part of How to get rid of stuff in Rio de Janeiro.
Why use it
The useful part is that they collect. You book online or ring 4003-2299 and give your CEP, and their scheduler tells you the next date in your area. Their own list is clothes, furniture in good condition, household utensils, toys, books, computer equipment, appliances and office supplies, and the booking form's own item picker includes fridges, cookers, washing machines, sofas, beds, wardrobes and air conditioning, so large things really are in scope. They do not publish a refusal list, so describe the item honestly when you book.

Where your things go
A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Does it actually work
The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

14 signals checked against 3 pages on 18 August 2026. The Index measures what an operator publishes about itself. It cannot be bought, verification does not raise it, and it never touches the order Spots are listed in.
Where donated things land
The organisations this operator names. The linked ones have profiles here; the rest are named on their pages and not yet checked by us.
- Bazares Beneficentes do Exército de Salvação Named on their pages, not yet checked
What happens to it
- Donated to an organisation that will use it
- Put back into use
This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.
What readers told us
Used them recently?
How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
