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.

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 They do not publish a refusal list, so describe the item honestly when you book.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.

Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, 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.

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.
