Exército de Salvação: retirada de doações
Free home collection of things still worth using, furniture in good condition, clothes, working appliances, books and toys. They ask for photographs of furniture by WhatsApp before agreeing to come.
Right for you if
- Furniture and appliances in genuinely good condition.
- It has to cost nothing.
- You cannot move it yourself. They come and collect.
- You can get it there under your own steam.
- You would rather it was used again than buried.
Look elsewhere if
- You need it gone today.
- It is broken, dirty or missing parts.
- It is business waste.

Verification
Checked against a published source

That means we read a published source and it said this. It does not mean we watched them do it, or followed the material afterwards, that is a separate, deeper check this has not been through. How we check →

Part of How to get rid of stuff in São Paulo.
Why use it
It costs nothing, they come to you, and a thing that still works never becomes waste. They are specific about refusing furniture that is broken, woodwormed, dented or flaking, which is more honest than most charity collections.
Good for
- furniture
- clothes
- textiles
- appliances
- electronics
- books
- toys
- other items

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 2 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.
